    5       5     \10   2/
$$\frac{2 \left(x - 3\right)}{5} - \frac{8}{5} = 5 \left(\frac{x}{10} - \frac{1}{2}\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(2/5)*(x-3)-(8/5) = 5*((1/10)*x-(1/2))

Expand brackets in the left part
2/5x-3-8/5 = 5*((1/10)*x-(1/2))

Expand brackets in the right part
2/5x-3-8/5 = 5*1/10x-1/2)

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-14/5 + 2*x/5 = 5*1/10x-1/2)

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{2 x}{5} = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{3}{10}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{\left(-1\right) x}{10} = \frac{3}{10}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1/10
x = 3/10 / (-1/10)

We get the answer: x = -3
