1) 1336 = 8(-14x - 29)

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

1336 = 8(-14x - 29)

1336 = -112x - 232

Step 2:  Add 232 to both sides

1336 + 232 = -112x - 232 + 232

1568 = -112x

Step 3:  Divide both sides by -112

1568 / -112 = -112x / -112

-14 = x

 x = -14

The solution is x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, first perform the indicated multiplication.  We get:

1336 = 8(-14x - 29) => 1336 = -112x - 232

Adding 232 to both sides isolates -112x:

1336 + 232 = -112x, or

1568 = -112x

Next, x = -1568/112 = -14

The solution is x = -14.

step-by-step explanation:

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
