Question

Select the correct answer. The product of two numbers is 21. If the first number is -3, which equation represents this situation and what is the second number? О А. The equation that represents this situation is x - 3= 21. The second number is 24. OB. The equation that represents this situation is 3x = 21. The second number is 7. OC. The equation that represents this situation is -3x = 21. The second number is -7. OD. The equation that represents this situation is -3 + x = 21. The second number is 18.​

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B. The equation that represents this situation is 3x = 21. The second number is 7.

Since the product of two numbers is 21 and the first number is given as -3, we can represent this situation using the equation 3x = 21. Solving for x, we find that x = 7. Therefore, the second number is 7.
