Word Problem

When we see the word "of" in a mathematic expression, it simply means multiplication

Hence we have the mathematical expression for the word in our example as

2/3*n = 42

re-write

2n/3 = 42

cross multiplying we have

2n = 42*3

2n = 126

divide both side by 2 we have

n = 126/2

n = 63
