3 times what equals 29?
3 times what equals 29? In other words, what do you multiply by 3 to get 29? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "3 times what equals 29?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:
3 • x = 29
Which can be written as:
3x = 29
To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 3 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 3.
3x/3 = 29/3
3x/3 is x and 29/3 is 9.6667 which means our equation will look like this:
x = 9.6667
Thus, the answer to "3 times what equals 29?" is 9.6667.
To double-check our work, multiply 9.6667 by 3 to see that it equals 29. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
