Answer:

you can use the formula "Cross method" in which the last number of the equation is the sum of 2 number multiplication that also sums the 2nd num of the equation.

so it becomes

(x +6)(x +7)

WHY?

Bcs when u multiply 6 x 7 = 42 ( the last number of the equation)

when u sum 6 + 7 = 13 ( the 2nd number of the equation)

Hope this helps :)
