59 times what equals 68?

59 times what equals 68? In other words, what do you multiply by 59 to get 68? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "59 times what equals 68?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

59 • x = 68

Which can be written as:

59x = 68

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 59 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 59.

59x/59 = 68/59
