29 times what equals 53?

29 times what equals 53? In other words, what do you multiply by 29 to get 53? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "29 times what equals 53?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

29 • x = 53

Which can be written as:

29x = 53

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 29 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 29.

29x/29 = 53/29

29x/29 is x and 53/29 is 1.8276 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.8276
