Cancel \(x\).
\[1+\frac{2}{-4}=\frac{5}{8}+\frac{2}{5}\]
Move the negative sign to the left.
\[1-\frac{2}{4}=\frac{5}{8}+\frac{2}{5}\]
Simplify \(\frac{2}{4}\) to \(\frac{1}{2}\).
\[1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{8}+\frac{2}{5}\]
Simplify \(1-\frac{1}{2}\) to \(\frac{1}{2}\).
\[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{8}+\frac{2}{5}\]
Simplify \(\frac{5}{8}+\frac{2}{5}\) to \(\frac{41}{40}\).
\[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{41}{40}\]
Since \(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{41}{40}\) is false, there is no solution.
