What is x when 35 divided by x equals 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 9 = 3.8888888888889

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 3.8888888888889: $\frac{35}{3.8888888888889} = 9$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{35}{x} = 9$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{35 x}{x} = 9 x$
$\frac{35 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 35$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 35$ (or just $35$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $35 = 9 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 9: $\frac{35}{9} = \frac{9 x}{9}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.8888888888889 = x$ (or $x = 3.8888888888889$ )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 3.8888888888889.
