I'm pretty sure $39.31 was the original sales cost because if you use proportions to find out what is 7.2% of 42.35 ( what you get you you subtract 45 by 2.65). Your equation would be x/42.35 = 7.2/100. 42.35 is the whole because tax is adding money onto your original cost, making that the part. When you cross multiply you get 100x = 304.92. Then you divide by 100 on both sides to isolate the variable, to get x = 3.04. But you don't stop there. Since 3.04 is only the 7.2%, you have to subtract that by 42. 35 to get a sum of 39. 31 as your total.

Answer:
Q2: -17
Q3: a) -5/2 b) g = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
2w+7 = -9
2w = -9 - 7
w = -16/2
w = -8
---
15 - 4w
= 15 - 4(-8)
= 15 - 32
= -17
----------------------
Q3:
a) 3/4(16m-24) = -48
16m -24 = -48 ÷ 3/4
16m = -64 + 24
16m = -40
m = -5/2
b) -20 = 1/6(36+12g)
-20 = 1/6 × 6(6+2g)
(cross out the 6 from 1/6 and 6)
-20 = 6 + 2g
-20-2g= 6
-2g = 6+20
-2g = 26
g = 26/-2
g = -13
This is an equilateral triangle, which means all the sides are the same length. So, the answer is 35. ☺♥
Hope this helps.
