Let's call the number x.
The sum of a number and 8 is x + 8.
The product of 9 and the sum of a number and 8 is 9(x + 8).
According to the problem, 9(x + 8) = 180.
Expanding the parentheses, we get 9x + 72 = 180.
Subtracting 72 from both sides, we get 9x = 108.
Dividing both sides by 9, we get x = 12.
So, the number is 12.
The product of 9 and the sum of a number and 8 is 180. What is the number?(1 point)
