Output a Magical 8 Trapezium

Question

Your task is to output a Magical 8 Trapezium:

        1 × 8 + 1 = 9
       12 × 8 + 2 = 98
      123 × 8 + 3 = 987
     1234 × 8 + 4 = 9876
    12345 × 8 + 5 = 98765
   123456 × 8 + 6 = 987654
  1234567 × 8 + 7 = 9876543
 12345678 × 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 × 8 + 9 = 987654321

• Output in your chosen language in the fewest bytes possible.
• Note the number of spaces at the start of each line to maintain the trapezium shape.
• Trailing spaces are allowed.
• You can use × or the letter x - whichever you prefer.

Answer 1

Python 2, 59 bytes

a=i=1
exec"print'%9d x 8 +'%a,i,'=',a*8+i;i+=1;a=a*10+i;"*9

The numbers a and i the equation a * 8 + i are generated arithmetically. Each line, i is incremented, and a has the next digit appended via a=a*10+i. For example, if a=12345, i=5, then i becomes 6, so the new a is 12345*10 + 6 which is 123456.

Storing these as numbers rather than strings lets us compute the RHS as given by the equation a*8+i, which is shorter than string reversing.

Answer 7

Python 2, 87 84 78 75 bytes

s="123456789"
n=1
exec'print"%9s"%s[:n],"x 8 + %s ="%n,s[::-1][:n];n+=1;'*9

Try it online

A previous version uses some string magic.

R=range(1,10)
for n in R:print" "*(9-n)+`R`[1:n*3:3]+" x 8 + %d = "%n+`R`[-2:27-3*n:-3]

Casting range(1,10) to a string gives [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], and this is nice since every number is only a single digit. So getting the string 123456789 from this is simple with `range(1,10)`[1::3]. The reversed range is `range(1,10)`[-2::-3]. Then, to get only as far as I want each iteration, I slice it off at either 3*n, or at 3*(9-n) (27-3*n) for the reversed digits.

8..0|%{" "*$_+-join(1..++$i+" x 8 + $i = "+9..++$_)}

Loops from 8 to 0 8..0|%{...} via the range operator. Each iteration, we output a string concatenation consisting of (the appropriate number of spaces " "*$_), plus a -joined string of (a range from 1 to a pre-incremented helper number ++$i, plus the middle bit " x 8 + $i = ", plus the final range from 9 to the current number $_ pre-incremented).

One big trick here is we leverage the "left-preference" for typecasting, which allows us to "add" arrays together inside the -join parens, meaning we use only one -join operator.

Example

PS C:\Tools\Scripts\golfing> .\magical-8-trapezium.ps1
        1 x 8 + 1 = 9
       12 x 8 + 2 = 98

n=>_.Range(1,9).WriteLine(v=>_.Range(0,10-v).Write("",x=>" ")+_.Range(1,v).Write("")+" x 8 + " + v + " = "+_.Range(10-v,v).Reverse().Write(""))

Link to lib: https://github.com/mvegh1/Enumerable/

Explanation of code: Create range 1 to 9, and for each value, write a line corresponding to the complex predicate. The predicate is passed the current integer value, and creates a range spanning 10-currentValue elements, in order to create that many spaces. Those spaces are concatenated with the formula part of the line, and then that is concatenated with the tailend of the range matching the number of elements as the frontend, in reverse order.

Note: In the image, the first line is off by one space because the console added a quotation mark since the return value is a string. The actual value is formatted correctly
