To solve the equation -4|5x| + 6 2/5 = -5.6, we first need to simplify the mixed number on the right side of the equation:
6 2/5 = 6 + 2/5 = 6 + 2/5 = 31/5
So the equation becomes:
-4|5x| + 31/5 = -5.6
Next, we isolate the absolute value term by moving the constant to the other side:
-4|5x| = -5.6 - 31/5
-4|5x| = -28/5
Now, we can divide by -4 to solve for |5x|:
|5x| = -28/5 / -4
|5x| = 28/20
|5x| = 7/5
Now, we solve for x by considering both the positive and negative cases of the absolute value:
5x = 7/5 or 5x = -7/5
x = 7/5 / 5 = 7/25 or x = -7/5 / 5 = -7/25
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x = 7/25 and x = -7/25.
