if you don't like fractions, clear them in the first step
multiplying by 5 gives 2(x-2)=5x+20
2x-4=5x+20 ... -3x=24 ... x=-8

the first thing you should do is get rid of the fraction, if you can. In this case you can without breaking any rules.
2/5(x-2)=x+4
2(x-2)=5(x+4) multiply 5 times each side.
2x-4=5x+20
-24=3x subtract 2x+20 from each side.
x= -8 divide each side by 3
Check:
2/5(-8-2)=-8+4
2/5(-10)=-4
-4=-4
