Answer 3

so, there are 42 pencils in all
there are boxes...
and each box has 6 pencils
how many boxes are there

so, if they didn't give you the total amount of pencils, you would have done, 6 pencils times x boxes, right?

Answer 4

idk

Answer 5

well, you would...
because you would do 6x = total number of pencils
so, because you know the number of pencils
you would plug that in
and write
6x =42

so
do you know how to isolate the x in
6x=42

Answer 10

you can use the 6b=42 to solve for the second question.
You need to isolate the variable. To do so, divide both sides by 6. what is 42/6? This will be your b value
