Answer:

x = -3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 = 0.4

0.4x - 0.2 = -2(3/4)

-2(3/4) = -2/1 * 3/4 = -6/4

0.4x - 0.2 = -6/4

Convert to fraction

2/5x - 1/5 = -6/4

Add 1/5 to both sides

-6/4 + 1/5 = -30/20 + 4/20 = -26/20

2/5x = -26/20

Convert to decimal

0.4x = -1.3

-1.3/0.4 = -3.25

x = -3.25
