7 times what equals 75?

7 times what equals 75? In other words, what do you multiply by 7 to get 75? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "7 times what equals 75?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

7 • x = 75

Which can be written as:

7x = 75

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 7 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 7.

7x/7 = 75/7

7x/7 is x and 75/7 is 10.7143 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 10.7143

Thus, the answer to "7 times what equals 75?" is 10.7143.

To double-check our work, multiply 10.7143 by 7 to see that it equals 75. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
