40 is 20% of x

40 = .2 * x

40/.2 = x

x =200

x is 80% of y

x = .8 * y

200 = .8 *y

200/.8 = y

250 =y

x+y

200+250

450

$\frac{10-(3 \cdot 2^2 - 23)}{(1 + 10^2)-2^2 \cdot 5^2} =$

$10-\left(3\cdot \:2^2-23\right) =10-\left(-11\right) =21$

$\left(1+10^2\right)-2^2\cdot \:5^2 = 101-2^2\cdot \:5^2 = 101-4\cdot \:5^2 =101-4\cdot \:25 =101-100 = 1$

$=\frac{21}{1}$

$\frac{a}{1}= a$

$=21$

I hope I helped you!

$
(3x-4)^2=8\iff3x-4=\pm\sqrt8\\\\3x-4=-\sqrt{4\times2}\ or\ 3x-4=\sqrt{4\times2}\\\\3x-4=-2\sqrt2\ or\ 3x-4=2\sqrt2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |add\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\\3x=4-2\sqrt2\ or\ 3x=4+2\sqrt2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\\boxed{x=\frac{4-2\sqrt2}{3}\ or\ x=\frac{4+2\sqrt2}{3}}$
