Let ( g ) represent the number of additional guests beyond the initial three that Mika can bring to the gym. Given that she pays $7 per additional guest, we can set up the equation:

[ 7(g) = 42 ]

Solving for ( g ):

[ g = \frac{42}{7} ]

[ g = 6 ]

So, Mika can bring 6 additional guests to the gym, making a total of ( 3 + 6 = 9 ) guests including herself.
