Answer 1

To solve the equation −6x = −42, you can divide both sides of the equation by -6.

-6x / -6 = -42 / -6

This simplifies to:

x = 7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7.

Answer 3

Certainly! I apologize for not showing my steps earlier. Here is the detailed solution:

To solve the equation −6x = −42, we want to isolate the variable x.

First, we can divide both sides of the equation by -6 to "undo" the coefficient of x:

-6x / -6 = -42 / -6

This simplifies to:

x = 7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7.

I hope this clears up any confusion. Let me know if you have any further questions!
