Question

Jacob has a headache. He can't stand long lists. "Can you repeat that again?" he asks. "It's easy. Name a number that is greater than 10, less than 20, is a multiple of 7, and FINALLY is a factor of 42," Replies Eric.

Answer 1

i think it would be 14. greater than 10 and less than 20. 42/3 is 14 and 7 times 2 is 14

Answer 2

Answer:

Well here are the constraints given to us here

Lets make this number “x”

x > 10

x< 20

7x

X = 1, 2, 6, 7, 21, 42

So with all this we can come up with this

10 < 7x < 20 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

So lets cut this down a bit

It’s gotta be a multiple of 7 so we can get rid of 3 of the solutions

It can be 7, 14, 21, 42

Now it has to be more then 10 but less then 20

So that gets rid of everything except 14

14 is your answer
