Answer:

Paco is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the Equation... 2/5x-1=9

If Paco is true, you can substitute x=4 into the equation.

If x = 4, [2/(5*4)]-1=9

Simplifying this would make it 2/20-1=9

which equals -9/10=9.

But we know that -9/10 does not equal 9.

Therefor, Paco's "answer", which is x=4, is not correct.
