Divide 20 % by 100 to get its decimal form.

Dividing 20 % by 100 equals 0.2.

Set up an equation as 0.2x = 8,

which means 20 %of x equals 8.

Solve the equation by dividing each side by 0.2.

Dividing 0.2 from each side results in x = 40. Eight is 20 % of 40.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 5^3– 10^2 = X(8 – 2) + 2X – 3X

Solving the equation to find the value of x.

⇒ $5^{3} -10^{2} = x(8-2)+2x-3x$

Using the distributive property of multiplication, multiplying x with 8 and -2

⇒ $125-100= 8x-2x+2x-3x$

cancelling out -2x and 2x

⇒ $25= 8x-3x$

⇒ $25= 5x$

Multiplying both side by 5

⇒ x= $\frac{25}{5}$

∴ x= 5

Hence, the value of unknown is 5.
