    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find all pairs of natural numbers which are solution to a+b=42, we need to first choose a value to one of them (let's choose 'a'), and that value will be the lowest possible, so we begin with a=1, and then we increase to 2, and 3, and so on.

    For each value of a, we calculate the value of b using the equation.

    So, starting with a=1, we have that b=41

    Then, with a=2, we have that b=40, and so on.

    Doing this until a=41 (so b=1 will be the lowest value possible for b), we have the pairs of natural number we want:
