a,\(\left(\frac{7}{5}-2x\right).\frac{40}{20}=\frac{8}{14}\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(\frac{7}{5}-2x\right).2=\frac{4}{7}\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{7}{5}-2x=\frac{4}{7}:2\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{7}{5}-2x=\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\Rightarrow2x=\frac{7}{5}-\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\Rightarrow2x=\frac{39}{35}\)
\(\Rightarrow x=\frac{39}{35}:2\)
\(\Rightarrow x=\frac{39}{70}\)
b, \(\frac{7}{2}.x-20\%.x=-4\)
\(\Rightarrow x\left(\frac{7}{2}-20\%\right)=-4\)
\(\Rightarrow x\left(\frac{7}{2}-\frac{1}{5}\right)=-4\)
\(\Rightarrow x\frac{7}{10}=-4\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-4:\frac{7}{10}\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-\frac{40}{7}\)
