Hat is the second step to solving this equation?
9x - 23 = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find out what times 9 - 23 = 49 the first step would be to add 49 + 23 and that would get 72 so then you find that x would = 8 so the second step should be to put the problem together so 72 - 23 = 49. so basically x would equal 8.

divide by 9x on both sides

Step-by-step explanation: first + 23 to 49, that cancels out the (-23)

you now have 72

next you divide by 9x on both sides, this cancels out the 9 and you get x by itself, and then 72/9

you divide 72 by 9 and you get x=8
