To find the number, let's first set up the equation given in the problem:
(8 + x)/3 = 6
To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
3(8 + x)/3 = 6 x 3
8 + x = 18
Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8
x = 10
Therefore, the number is 10. However, none of the given options include 10, so there may be a mistake in the answer choices.
