Answer 2

Question:-

nine less than the product of 4 and a number is 23.

Answer:-

x = 8

Explanation:-

nine less than the product of 4 and a number is 23 → 4x - 9 = 23

=> 4x - 9 = 23

=> 4x = 23+9

=> 4x = 32

=> x = 32/4

=> x = 8

-----------------------------------------------------------

substituting x = 8 in the equation,

=> 4(8) - 9 = 23

=> 32-9 = 23

=> 23 = 23 ( varified )
