(1/3)(12+x)=(-8)(6-x)
(1/3)*12 + (1/3)*x = -8*6 - (-8)*x
4 + 1/3x = -48 + 8x
1/3x - 8x = -48 - 4
-23/3x = -52
x = 156/23

1/3(12+x) = -8 (6-x)

Distribute the 1/3 and the -8 through their parentheses

4 + 1/3x = -48 + 8x

subtract 4 from each side

1/3x = -52 + 8x

subtract 8x from each side

1/3x - 8x = -52

combine like terms

1/3x - 24/3x = -52
-23/3x = -52

divide each side by -23/3 (multiply the reciprocal of the divisor)

x = -52 × -3/23
x = 156/23

x = 6 18/23 or 6.78

We need to find the percent change on his scores. It can be calculated as follows :

$\%=\dfrac{\text{original score-initial score}}{\text{original socre}}}\times 100\\\\\%=\dfrac{95-80}{95}\times 100\\\\\%=15.78\%$

So, there is a percent change of 15.78%.
