Question

Eight more than the product of a number 9 is equal to 7

Answer 1

The equation you have provided is 8 + 9x = 7, where x is the unknown number.

To solve for x, you can first subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to get

9x = -1

Then divide both sides by 9

x = -1/9

So the number x is -1/9, which means that the product of x and 9 is equal to -1.

Keep in mind that this is not a natural number and it is not possible to represent the solution as a whole number.
