0=-8x-4
you then move the variable to the left and you get
8x=-4
you then divide both sides to get the answer
x=-1/2
40%less
You take 36/60
That equals 60%
This means that 36 is 60% of 60
So in 24 is 40% of 60 or 36 is 40% less than 60
3/5 would be the answer because every 3 banana nut here is 5 corn
