Let's represent the number as "x".
The given equation can be written as (8 + x)/3 = 6.
To solve for x, we can first multiply both sides of the equation by 3: 3 * (8 + x)/3 = 3 * 6.
This simplifies to 8 + x = 18.
Next, we subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: 8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8.
This simplifies to x = 10.
Therefore, the number is 10.
