Question

How would i write this as an equation?
"The sum of 9 times a number, and 6, is equal to 8 times the number."
Thanks!

Answer 1

the sum => add the next two terms
9 times a number => 9x
and 6 => 6
is equal to => =
8 times the number => 8x
There's a translation, see if you can put it together now.

Answer 2

i had x(9x+6)=8x...makes sense now !

Answer 3

The answer should be (9x+6) = 8x, I don't know how you got that x in the beginning. Had it said, a number multiplied by the sum of 9 times... then you would be correct.

Answer 4

idk...off day ...thank you
