Question

The product of 7 and a number is greater than 42. If the number is a whole number less than 10 , what could the number be?

Answer 1

8 or 9

Explanation:

Your primary equation that they gave you is ?b and has to be greater than ?a 7 x ?a =42

So your answer to ?a is 7 because 7 x 7 =42 therefore your answer to ?b has to be 8 or above.

the next part of your problem states that it is a whole number UNDER 10.... this limits your possible answer to either 8 or 9.
