    Answer:

    Hmmmm. Mr. McGill seems a little lost.

    At first, I thought he might have divided both sides by 21 (to get 2x on the left), but look what happens on the right side of the equation!

    42x=163\\\\2x=54\,\, 1/3  (not 3, for sure)

    I think Mr. McGill needs to take the class you’re in!
