Question

Twice a number divided by 6 is 42

Answer 1

Hello!

To solve, we need to put this situation into an equation.

2x/6=42

Now we solve.

2x=252
x=126

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = a number

2x/6 = 42

Isolate the x, first multiply 6 to both sides

2x/6(6) = 42(6)

2x = 42(6)

2x = 252

Isolate the x, divide 2 from both sides

2x/2 = 252/2

x = 252/2

x = 126

126 is your answer

hope this helps
