1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation 25x52x=110\frac{2}{5x} - \frac{5}{2x} = \frac{1}{10} for xx.

2. Solution Steps

We are given the equation 25x52x=110\frac{2}{5x} - \frac{5}{2x} = \frac{1}{10}.
First, we find a common denominator for the terms on the left side of the equation. The least common multiple of 5x5x and 2x2x is 10x10x.
25x2252x55=110\frac{2}{5x} \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{5}{2x} \cdot \frac{5}{5} = \frac{1}{10}
410x2510x=110\frac{4}{10x} - \frac{25}{10x} = \frac{1}{10}
42510x=110\frac{4 - 25}{10x} = \frac{1}{10}
2110x=110\frac{-21}{10x} = \frac{1}{10}
Next, we can cross-multiply to solve for xx:
(21)10=1(10x)(-21) \cdot 10 = 1 \cdot (10x)
210=10x-210 = 10x
Now, divide both sides by 10 to isolate xx:
21010=10x10\frac{-210}{10} = \frac{10x}{10}
x=21x = -21

3. Final Answer

x=21x = -21
