What Divided By 39 Equals 170

Solving What Divided by 39 Equals 170

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{39}=170$

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 $39$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 170 \times 39$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 6630$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $39$ equals $170$?” is $6630$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{39} = 170$

And insert $6630$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{6630}{39} = 170$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
