Zeronknight (zeronknight):

@mathmale

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Plug in the values, and if it's less than 42 those are solutions if they're not then it is not

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

For example, lets take A) 3 \[7(3) <42 \implies 21<42 \checkmark\]

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

Confused? How does one "plug" in the values. @Astrophysics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply 7 by all of the numbers

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You're given values in your options for x

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You can test them all by plugging it in for x

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

7 x 6 = 42. So 6 is not correct.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Right :)
