The problem is already solved. There is nothing more you can do to it... Unless its supposed to be...
42a-77= some number..

Well in order to solve something you would need it to be equal to something. I'm assuming that perhaps you are supposed to put the terms into simplest form? If that is the situation then you do the following.
42a-77 (do you notice that both 42 and 77 are divisible by 7?)
Pull out the seven and simplify:
7(6a-11)
Hope that helps

42a-77
If you were asked to factor the above expression, then the answer is 7(6a-11).
