Question

Quotient of twice a number and 6 is 42

Answer 1

`n = 126`

Explanation:

First let's model this into an equation.

Twice a number is
`2n`, and that divided by 6 is
`(2n)/(6)`. That's equal to 42, so we have
`(2n)/(6) = 42`.

Now we can simplify this equation by isolating n on one side of the equation.

Multiply both sides by 6:

`(2n)/(6) \cdot 6 = 42\cdot 6\\\\2n = 252`

Divide both sides by 2:

`2n / 2 = 252/ 2\\\\n = 126`
