77 times what equals 10?

77 times what equals 10? In other words, what do you multiply by 77 to get 10? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "77 times what equals 10?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

77 • x = 10

Which can be written as:

77x = 10

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 77 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 77.

77x/77 = 10/77

77x/77 is x and 10/77 is 0.1299 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.1299
