What value divided by 35 equals 2?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 35 and the quotient 2?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 35 × 2 = 70
To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 35:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 35 gives a result of 2 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 35:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 35 and the quotient is 2, the dividend is 70.
