Leo has b boxes of pencils. each box contains 6 pencils. he has a total of 42 pencils. the equation that represents this situation is . the value of b that makes the equation true is .

The equation for this scenario is  6b= 42.

B= 42/6= 7

The value of b that makes the equation true is 7.

Hope this helps!

6b = 42

b = 7 for the equation to be true.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Leo has b boxes of pencils with each containing 6 pencils, it means that the total number of pencils Leo has is dependent on the number of boxes given that the number in each box is known.

The product of the number of boxes with the number in each box gives the total number of pencils Leo has. This may be expressed mathematically as

= b × 6

= 6b

Given that Leo has 42 pencils, it means that

6b = 42

Dividing both sides by 6,

b = 42/6 = 7

It means he has 7 boxes.
