$x * \frac{25}{100} =40 
$
x * 25 = 40 * 100
x * 25 = 4000

$x = \frac{4000}{25}$

x = 160

the number is 160

Answer:

B. $x = -4\,\lor \,x = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\sqrt{-4-5\cdot x} = x$ , we solve for $x$ by algebraic means.

1) $\sqrt{-4-5\cdot x} = x$ Given

2) $-4-5\cdot x = x^{2}$ Definition of power/Symmetry of equality

3) $x^{2}+5\cdot x + 4 = 0$ Compatibility with addition/Commutative and associative properties/Existence of additive inverse/Modulative property

4) $(x+4)\cdot (x+1) = 0$ $x^{2}+(a+b)\cdot x +a\cdot b = (x + a)\cdot (x+b)$

5) $x = -4\,\lor \,x = -1$ Result

Hence, the correct answer is B.
