What Divided by 6 Equals 93?
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 6, equals 93?
Solving What Divided by 6 Equals 93
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
6
=
93
\frac{x}{6} = 93
6 x = 93
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 6, resulting in this equation:
x
=
93
∗
6
x = 93*6
x = 93 ∗ 6
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
558
x = 558
x = 558
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 6 equals 93?” is 558.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
6
=
93
\frac{x}{6} = 93
6 x = 93
And insert 558 in the place of x:
558
6
=
93
\frac{558}{6} = 93
6 558 = 93
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
