Three more than the quotient of a number and 8 is 9

48

Step-by-step explanation:

x/8+3=9

x/8=9-3

x/8=6

x=6*8

x=48

3 + 8x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take into account the wording of this problem.

Three more than the quotient of a number and 8, is 9.

By the word more, we can assume they are talking about addition.

So far, we have:

3 +

By the word quotient, we can assume they are talking about the sum of two numbers being multiplied together.

So, now we have:

3 + 8x

From is 9, we can say that is 9 is just a fancier way of saying is equal to 9.

So finally, we have:

3 + 8x = 9
