To solve the equation "the sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6", you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Let's represent the unknown number as x. The equation can be written as:
8 + x/3 = 6

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
x/3 = 6 - 8
x/3 = -2

Step 3: Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to remove the fraction:
(x/3) * 3 = -2 * 3
x = -6

So, the number that satisfies the equation is x = -6.

Jillian spent $31 to park for 6 hours. The parking garage charges a base rate of $3 for the first two 2 hours, and then an hourly rate for each additional hour. How much does each additional hour of parking cost?(1 point)

To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we need to first subtract the base rate for the first 2 hours from the total cost and then divide it by the number of additional hours.

Given:
Total cost = $31
Base rate for the first 2 hours = $3
Number of additional hours = 6 - 2 = 4

Step 1: Subtract the base rate from the total cost:
$31 - $3 = $28

Step 2: Divide the remaining amount by the number of additional hours:
$28 / 4 = $7

Therefore, each additional hour of parking costs $7.

To find out how many seashells Lucy has, we can use the information given and work backwards.

Let's assume the number of seashells Lucy has is x.

According to the information given, Daisy has 6 more than three times as many seashells as Lucy. This can be represented as:

Daisy = 3x + 6

We also know that Daisy has 36 seashells, which we can substitute into the equation:

36 = 3x + 6

Subtracting 6 from both sides:

36 - 6 = 3x
30 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3:

30/3 = x
10 = x

Therefore, Lucy has 10 seashells.
