Question

Write an equation to represent the following statement.

j is 7 times greater than 6.

Solve for j

Answer 1

Hi there!

j is 7 times greater than 6.

When j is 7 times greater than a number, we get the following equation:
j / 7 = 6

Multiply both sides by 7.
j = 42

Answer 2

j is 7 times greater than 6

"j is" = "j = "
"7 times greater than 6" = "7 x 6"

j = 7 x 6

7 x 6 = 42

j = 42

hope this helps
