Let's denote Vanessa's age as "x" and build an equation to solve for "x".
Since the question tells us that Vanessa's age (x) * 7 = 119, we can set up a simple equation to solve for "x"
119 = 7x
Now, we want to isolate "x", so we will divide each side by 7
119/7 = x
119/7 = 17, so "x", or Vanessa's age is equal to 17
