58 times what equals 51?

58 times what equals 51? In other words, what do you multiply by 58 to get 51? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "58 times what equals 51?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

58 • x = 51

Which can be written as:

58x = 51

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 58 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 58.

58x/58 = 51/58

58x/58 is x and 51/58 is 0.8793 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.8793
