To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
Given equation: 2x + 4/5 = 3x - 1/2
First, let's get rid of the fractions by multiplying everything by the least common denominator, which is 10.
10(2x + 4/5) = 10(3x - 1/2)=> 10(2x) + 10(4/5) = 10(3x) - 10(1/2)=> 20x + 8 = 30x - 5
Now, let's isolate the variable x by bringing all the terms with x to one side:
20x + 8 = 30x - 5Subtract 20x from both sides:8 = 10x - 5Add 5 to both sides:13 = 10xDivide by 10:x = 13/10
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x + 4/5 = 3x - 1/2 is x = 13/10.

Divide by 10:
x = 13/10
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x + 4/5 = 3x - 1/2 is x = 13/10.
