Solve for x: 7x = 42

To find the value of ( x ) in the equation ( 7x = 42 ), we start by isolating ( x ). This can be achieved by dividing both sides of the equation by 7.

When we perform this operation, we get:

[

x = \frac{42}{7}

]

Calculating the right side, we find:

[

x = 6

]

Thus, the solution to the equation is ( x = 6 ). This means that when you multiply 7 by 6, it will yield 42, confirming that solving the equation correctly gives us the value of ( x ).

This makes the choice where ( x ) equals 6 the correct answer.
