40(105/100)=42

Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines stand for absolute value ( how far a number is from 0), so each number should be a positive, then you just solve for x. Isolate x, then divide on both sides, and you should get -x=1, which is equal to x=-1.
When multiplying by 4, you can simply multiply it by 2 twice (prime factorization).
In this example-
4 times 8 = 32
2 times 2 times 8 = 32
