To find the width of the poster, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: Area = length x width.
Given that the length is 7 units and the area is 42 square units, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the width:
42 = 7 x width
42/7 = width
6 = width
Therefore, the width of the poster is 6 units.
