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 )
