Answer:
X could be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
So, your final answer could be either 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, or 59.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
88 can be rewritten as 8 x 10 and 8 can be rewritten as 
making a 2 come out of the root.
10 can be rewritten as 2 x 5.
2*2 can also be rewritten as 
making a 2 come out of the root.
We can't keep simplifying the root.
The anserws is 88 so your welcome
The answer would look something like this:
There could also have a simplified version.
I hope this helps.
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.
