Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 4(2-4x) which leaves you with 8-16x-3x=65

combine the like terms which leaves you with 8-19x=65

subtract 8 from both sides 8-19x-8=65-8 which leaves you with -19x=57

lastly divide -19 from both sides which leaves you with x= -3

If As income is 20% more than Bs income, how much percent is Bs income less than As income

vitfil [10]

$As\ is\ 120\%\ Bs\\\\120\%=1.2\to\frac{As}{Bs}=1.2\\\\\frac{As}{Bs}=\frac{12}{10}\to\frac{Bs}{As}=\frac{10}{12}\to\frac{Bs}{As}=\frac{5}{6}\\\\\frac{5}{6}\cdot100\%=\frac{500}{6}\%=83\frac{1}{3}\%\\\\100\%-83\frac{1}{3}\%=16\frac{2}{3}\%\\\\Answer:Bs\ income\ is\ 16\frac{2}{3}\%\ less\ than\ As\ income.$
