29 times what equals 73?

29 times what equals 73? In other words, what do you multiply by 29 to get 73? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "29 times what equals 73?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

29 • x = 73

Which can be written as:

29x = 73

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 = 73/29

29x/29 is x and 73/29 is 2.5172 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 2.5172
