To solve the equation, first isolate the fraction by subtracting 1 from both sides: $-\frac{6}{8x} = \frac{2}{5} - 1$. Simplify the right side: $\frac{2}{5} - \frac{5}{5} = -\frac{3}{5}$. Now, solve for $x$ by cross-multiplying: $-6 \times 5 = -3 \times 8x$. Simplify to get $30 = 24x$, so $x = \frac{30}{24} = \frac{5}{4}$.
