What Divided by 6 Equals 95?
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 95?
Solving What Divided by 6 Equals 95
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
6
=
95
\frac{x}{6} = 95
6 x = 95
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
=
95
∗
6
x = 95*6
x = 95 ∗ 6
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
570
x = 570
x = 570
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 6 equals 95?” is 570.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
6
=
95
\frac{x}{6} = 95
6 x = 95
And insert 570 in the place of x:
570
6
=
95
\frac{570}{6} = 95
6 570 = 95
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
