Let n = the number
(n-3)(8)=9
Multiply
8n-23=9
Add 23 to both sides
8n=32
Divide by 8 on both sides
n=4
(n-3)(8)=9
Multiply
8n-23=9
Add 23 to both sides
8n=32
Divide by 8 on both sides
n=4
Answer:
[see below]
Step-by-step explanation:
Three less than a number (x) would be: x - 3
"The product of three less than a number and eight" would be 8(x-3).
The product of three less than a number and eight is nine would be:
8(x-3) = 9
[tex]8(x-3) = 9\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\8x - 24 = 9\\\\8x - 24 + 24 = 9 + 24\\\\8x = 33\\\\\frac{8x = 33}{8}\\\\x = \frac{33}{8}[/tex]
Hope this helps.
