28 times what equals 82?

28 times what equals 82? In other words, what do you multiply by 28 to get 82? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "28 times what equals 82?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

28 • x = 82

Which can be written as:

28x = 82

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 28 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 28.

28x/28 = 82/28

28x/28 is x and 82/28 is 2.9286 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 2.9286
