Answer:

9x - 54 = 18            x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

54 less than 9 times x is 18

lets work backwards to solve this one.

We know that the entire eqation is equal to 18. We also know that 9 will be multiplied to x and that 54 will be taken from that.

 18   =   9x   -   54

+54               +  54

 72  =  9x

 72/9 = x

   8  =  x
