'Seven times the number of ludo tokens t is 42.' Which equation matches this sentence?

Class 6AlgebraAlgebra

Step-by-Step Solution

'Seven times t' is

7 t

, and 'is 42' supplies the equals sign:

7 t = 42

. The trap

t + 7 = 42

replaces multiplication with addition — 'times' must become ×, not +.

Answer: C)

7 t = 42

To evaluate an expression, **substitute** a value for the variable and compute. If

x = 5

, then

2 x + 3

becomes

2 \times 5 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13

. The same expression with

x = 0

gives

2 \times 0 + 3 = 3

. Practise substituting — it is the bridge between an algebraic expression and a real number.
