He would pay $4.06 sales tax for an item costs $58.00 before tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mike paid $2.94 in sales tax on an item that cost $42.00 before tax.

Now, at that rate find the sales tax for an item that costs $58.00 before tax.

Sales tax rate = sales tax on item / cost of item before tax  ×  100

Therefore, he would pay $4.06 sales tax for an item costs $58.00 before tax.

hey there! : )

4y < -4

we need to isolate y. we can do this by simply dividing both sides by 4.

4y ÷ 4 > -4 ÷ 4

simplify.

y > -1

5 - y > 0

once again, we need to isolate y, so we can start off by subtracting 5 from both sides.

5 - y - 5 > 0 - 5

simplify.

-y > -5

divide both sides by -1.

** remember that when dividing any side by a negative, you must switch the sign! **

-y ÷ -1 < -5 ÷ -1

simplify.

y < 5
