Translate this sentence into an equation. \[ 42 \text { is the product of } 3 \text { and Vanessa's height. } \] Use the variable \( v \) to represent Vanessa's height.

The sentence translates to the equation: \[ 42 = 3 \times v \] In this equation, \( v \) represents Vanessa's height, making it clear how her height is related to the number 42 and the product with 3! To solve for \( v \), you can rearrange the equation to find Vanessa's height: \[ v = \frac{42}{3} \] This shows how we can easily work with equations to uncover hidden values!
