3.18. Determine el máximo comun divisor de los enteros \( 15,18,24 \) y escríbalo como una combinación lineal de \( 15,18,24 \). 3.19. Sea \( a \in \mathbb{Z}^{+} \)tal que \( \operatorname{mcd}(240, a)=1 \), probar que \( 240 \mid a^{4}-1 \).

(Express \( \frac{6}{7 h}-\frac{3-4 g}{14 h} \) as a single fraction in its simplest form. Ungkapkan \( \frac{6}{7 h}-\frac{3-4 g}{14 h} \) sebagai pecahan tunggal dalam bentuk termudah.

42. Julio paid \( 7 \frac{3}{4} \% \) sales tax on an item he bought. He figured that if he had bought the item in a neighboring state where the sales tax is \( 8 \frac{1}{4} \% \), he would have paid \( \$ 75 \) more. What was the cost of the item before tax? (C) \( \$ 15,000.00 \) (IS) \( \$ 3,750.00 \) (C) \( \$ 1,500.00 \) (D) \( \$ 150.00 \) (F) \( \$ 37.50 \)
