The value of that number such that two less than the product of a number and -5 is -42 will be 8.
Multiplication is the general procedure in mathematics in which we multiply two or more numbers to each other to find a new multiplied number.
If and only if the number being multiplied is more than one, multiplication produces a resultant number that is significantly larger than the original number.
Let's say that number is x
Given condition
Product of x and -5 = -5x
Two is less than = -5x -2
Equal to -42
So,
-5x - 2 = - 42
x = 8
Hence the correct answer is 8.
