What Divided by 9 Equals 69?
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 9, equals 69?
Solving What Divided by 9 Equals 69
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
9
=
69
\frac{x}{9} = 69
9 x = 69
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 9, resulting in this equation:
x
=
69
∗
9
x = 69*9
x = 69 ∗ 9
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
621
x = 621
x = 621
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 9 equals 69?” is 621.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
9
=
69
\frac{x}{9} = 69
9 x = 69
And insert 621 in the place of x:
621
9
=
69
\frac{621}{9} = 69
9 621 = 69
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
