Percentages are easy to represent as decimals. Just remember this: If the value is under 100%, just place a decimal point in front of the percent value and remove the percentage sign. If it's over 100%, you'd put the decimal after whatever is in the hundreds place. The reason you can do this is because percent represents a value out of one hundred, and decimals do the same representing values as part of one.
So, 39%->.39

Let x = the integer:

2x^2 - 18 = 9x

2x^2 - 9x - 18 = 0

Now either factor that or use the quadratic formula if you're lazy like me.

x = -3/2 and 6, so x must be 6 because it has to be an integer.
