3 times what equals 93?

3 times what equals 93? In other words, what do you multiply by 3 to get 93? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "3 times what equals 93?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

3 • x = 93

Which can be written as:

3x = 93

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 = 93/3

3x/3 is x and 93/3 is 31 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 31

Thus, the answer to "3 times what equals 93?" is 31.

To double-check our work, multiply 31 by 3 to see that it equals 93. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
