Answer:
The unknown number is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make the unknown number x.
The sum of 5 TIMES a number (x) & 8 is 9.
Let's write it mathematically.
5x + 8 =9
We are trying to find the unknown number, so let's remove all the numbers from the left side to find x. Minus 8.
5x=1
5x is basically 5 times x, so to find x, we need to divide and from there we can remove 5.
x= [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
