To solve the equation 23 = x/9 + 8, we first subtract 8 from both sides:
23 - 8 = x/9 + 8 - 8
15 = x/9
To isolate x, we multiply both sides of the equation by 9:
15 * 9 = x/9 * 9
135 = x
To check our answer, we substitute x = 135 back into the original equation:
23 = 135/9 + 8
23 = 15 + 8
23 = 23
Therefore, the solution x = 135 is correct.
Solve the equation. Check your answer. 23 = x/9 + 8
