To solve the equation, we can translate it into algebraic expressions.
Let the number be represented by x.
According to the given information, the equation is:
(8 + x)/3 = 6
To solve for x, we can begin by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to remove the denominator:
3 * (8 + x)/3 = 3 * 6
Simplifying, we have:
8 + x = 18
Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8
Simplifying, we have:
x = 10
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 10.
To summarize, the number is 10.
