Answer:

x = - $\frac{2}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}$ (x - 2) = 4x

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

2(x - 2) = 20x ( divide both sides by 2 )

x - 2 = 10x ( subtract x from both sides )

- 2 = 9x ( divide both sides by 9 )

- $\frac{2}{9}$ = x

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount.

Mila [183]

Answer: $14.40

10% of $18 = $1.80 (just divide it by 10)
$1.80 x 2 = $3.60
20% of $18 = $3.60

since it’s a discount, you subtract from the original price so:

$18 - $3.60 = $14.40
