What Divided by 67 Equals 7?
Methods
Setting up the problem:
In a problem like this, the “what” means that we’re working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is “x”. So, we could say what number, x, when divided by 67, equals 7?
Solving What Divided by 67 Equals 7
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
67
=
7
\frac{x}{67} = 7
67 x = 7
The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 67, resulting in this equation:
x
=
7
∗
67
x = 7*67
x = 7 ∗ 67
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
469
x = 469
x = 469
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 67 equals 7?” is 469.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
67
=
7
\frac{x}{67} = 7
67 x = 7
And insert 469 in the place of x:
469
67
=
7
\frac{469}{67} = 7
67 469 = 7
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
