Question

6 x j = 42 ??????? Help

Answer 1

`\huge \boxed{J=7}`

Explanation:

Switch sides.

`\displaystyle6j=42`

Divide by 6 from both sides.

`\displaystyle (6j)/(6)=(42)/(6)`

Simplify, to find the answer.

`\displaystyle 42/6=7`

`\huge \boxed{j=7}`, which is our answer.

Answer 2

j = 7

Explanation:

flip the equation around: instead of using multiplication you use division to find out what j is.

1st step: 42 divided by 6 is 7

2nd step: (check your answer): 7 times 6 does equal 42, therefore j = 7 is correct.
