43 times what equals 84?

43 times what equals 84? In other words, what do you multiply by 43 to get 84? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "43 times what equals 84?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

43 • x = 84

Which can be written as:

43x = 84

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 43 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 43.

43x/43 = 84/43

43x/43 is x and 84/43 is 1.9535 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.9535
