Let's call the number "x". The sum of the number and 8 is x + 8. The product of 9 and the sum of the number and 8 is then 9(x + 8). According to the problem, this product is equal to 180. So we can write the equation as 9(x + 8) = 180.
To solve for x, we need to solve this equation:
9(x + 8) = 180
First, distribute 9 to both terms inside the parentheses:
9x + 72 = 180
Next, subtract 72 from both sides of the equation:
9x = 180 - 72
9x = 108
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 9 to solve for x:
x = 108/9
x = 12
Therefore, the number is 12.
