Okay so you’re finding X for how many days.
Right now you have 8 times X = 70.
To solve this, you’re going to divide both sides by 8.
So you have X = 70/8
Now, assuming you’re not wanting that big of a fraction, we can simplify to 35/4 or put it in decimal format with 8.75.

Then your answers is 8.75!
