Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

5x = 2

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide 5 on both sides:                    x = 2/5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                     5(2/5) = 2Multiply:                                2 = 2

Here we see that 2 does indeed equal 2.

∴ x = 2/5 is the solution to the equation.
