84 times what equals 58?

84 times what equals 58? In other words, what do you multiply by 84 to get 58? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "84 times what equals 58?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

84 • x = 58

Which can be written as:

84x = 58

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 84 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 84.

84x/84 = 58/84

84x/84 is x and 58/84 is 0.6905 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.6905
