73 times what equals 28?

73 times what equals 28? In other words, what do you multiply by 73 to get 28? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "73 times what equals 28?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

73 • x = 28

Which can be written as:

73x = 28

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 73 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 73.

73x/73 = 28/73
