Solve each equation. check your solution. 8 less than a number is 15. find the number.

x-8=15

When it says 8 less than that means that you are subtracting 8 from you're equation. The question also states from a number means that the 8 will be behind the variable and subtracted. They also give you the original answer before finding x. So to solve for "x" you have to isolate it. To isolate it you would add 8 from the left hand side (leaving x) and then add 8 to 15 on the right hand side. That would then give you youre answer of

x=23.

Hope it helps!

Let the number we have to find be x, Then:-

x - 8 = 15

x - 8 + 8 = 15 + 8

x = 23 answer

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes. 

step-by-step explanation:

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y
