Answer:

A) x - 23 = 44

And

X= 67

Explanation:

Let's assume the number to be x i.e let's call the number x

Then decreasing by 23 means subtracting 23 from the number that is subtracting 23 from x.

The result of the subtraction is 44.

This form the equation

x - 23 = 44

To find X

X = 44+23

X= 67
