My question is- Solve completely: $$ ax + b - \frac{5x + 2ab}{5} = \frac{1}{4}$$
Any guidance to solve this question would be helpful.

Hint: you have $$ax + b - x - \frac{2}{5}ab = \frac{1}{4}.$$
move all the terms that has an $x$ in them to one side and everything to the other side: $$ ax - x = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{5}ab - b$$
Factor out $x$ from each term. (on the left)
