Here is one done exactly like yours step by step.  Use this as a model.

The ninth part of a number exceeds the fifteenth part by 8. The number is ?
expr%281%2F9%29N%22%22=%22%22expr%281%2F15%29N+%2B8

Multiply through by the least common multiple (denominator) or 9 and 15,
which is 45:

45%2Aexpr%281%2F9%29N%22%22=%22%2245%2Aexpr%281%2F15%29N+%2B45%2A8

 5N%22%22=%22%223N+%2B360

 2N%22%22=%22%22360

 N%22%22=%22%22180 


Checking the answer 180:

The ninth part of 180 is 180%2F9 or 20
The fifteenth part of 180 is 180%2F15 or 12

And indeed 20 exceeds 12 by 8.

Now do your problem EXACTLY the same way.
