The answer is A

It is A because if Quiana had 42 text messages from Yolanda, you will need to find how much text messages does Yolanda have from Pierre. So if you are looking for the answer, you will have to do this:

6p=42

Opposite of Multiplication = Division

6p | 42
______

6p | 6


Answer= 7


Hope this helps
