1 answer

The expression "7 x k x [?]" is equivalent to "7k[?]", and "-42 x k" is equal to "-42k".

To find the missing number, we need to solve for "[?]" in the equation "7k[?] = -42k".

Divide both sides of the equation by 7k to solve for "[?]":
7k[?]/(7k) = (-42k)/(7k)
[?] = -42/7

Simplifying the fraction -42/7 gives us -6.

Therefore, the missing number that completes the expression is C) -6.
