Wow, you spent a lot of time typing in all 24 of those problems and answers.
I'm a little concerned that you're taking a survey of your algebra knowledge and you don't understand any of it.
I'll help you with 3 problems.
You may want to consider that algebra.com may not be the best way to help yourself in this case.
1. Percentage and decimal
2.8% is the same as 2.8/100.
2.8/100=0.028
2. Percent means out of 100. Set up a proportion.
168%2F480=x%2F100
Solve for x.
x=100%28168%2F480%29
x=35
168 is 35% of 480.
3. 2x(3x - 4y) 3x(-3x + 4y)
Use the distributive property.
2x%283x-4y%29-3x%28-3x%2B4y%29=2x%283x%29-2x%284y%29-3x%28-3x%29-3x%284y%29
2x%283x-4y%29-3x%28-3x%2B4y%29=6x%5E2-8xy%2B9x%5E2-12xy
2x%283x-4y%29-3x%28-3x%2B4y%29=15x%5E2-20xy
Good luck.
