The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6. Find the number.

Question

A)6
B)-2/3
C)-6
D)52
CHOES THE CORRECT ANSWER

Answer 1

To solve this problem, let's create the equation:

(8 + x) / 3 = 6

To solve for x, we can first multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

8 + x = 18

Next, we can subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

x = 18 - 8

x = 10

Therefore, the number is 10. The correct answer is not listed.
