Let's call the number we're trying to solve for "x".
According to the problem, the sum of a number (x) and 8 is 180.
So, the equation can be written as: 9(x + 8) = 180.
Now let's solve for x:
9(x + 8) = 180
Divide both sides of the equation by 9:
x + 8 = 20
Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
x = 20 - 8
x = 12
Therefore, the number is 12.
The product of nine and the sum of a number and 8 is 180 what is the number
