Answer:
x=13, 16(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
For 38, you have to first divide both sides by 2.
This becomes, x-6=7
Add 6 to both sides
x=13.
For 40. You can can distribute the 8.
This makes it 16x-16.
With this you can than, factor out the 16.
16(x-1).
Convert the percentages in decimals:
90/100 = 0.9, 20/100 = 0.2
Multiply the decimals:
0.9 times 0.2 is 0.18, or 18%
