Yeehaw! Let's wrangle those numbers! To find all the whole number possibilities for x, we need to find the factors of 42 that are also factors of 6. The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42. Out of these, the factors that are also factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. So, the whole number possibilities for x are 1, 2, 3, and 6. Giddy up and let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
