a) `x xx 20% + x : 25% - x : 0,5 + x = 4,9`
`x xx 1/5 + x : 1/4 - x : 1/2 + x = 4,9`
`x xx 1/5 + x. 4 - x .2 + x= 4,9`
`x xx( 1/5 + 4 -2 +1)= 4,9`
`x xx 16/5= 49/10`
`x= 49/10 : 16/5`
`x=49/10 xx 5/16`
`x=49/32`
b) `(1 -1/2) xx ( 1-1/3) xx ( 1-1/4) xx .... xx( 1 - 1/2018)`
`= (2/2 - 1/2) xx ( 3/3 - 1/3) xx ( 4/4 - 1/4) xx ...xx( 2018/2018 - 1/2018)`
`= 1/2 xx 2/3 xx 3/4 xx ...xx 2017/2018`
`= (1 xx 2 xx 3 xx...xx 2017)/(2 xx 3 xx 4 xx...xx2018)`
`= 1/2018`
