79 times what equals 64?

79 times what equals 64? In other words, what do you multiply by 79 to get 64? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "79 times what equals 64?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

79 • x = 64

Which can be written as:

79x = 64

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 79 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 79.

79x/79 = 64/79

79x/79 is x and 64/79 is 0.8101 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.8101
