Let's represent the unknown number as x.
The sum of 8 and x divided by 3 equals 6 can be written as (8 + x)/3 = 6.
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the denominator:
3 * (8 + x)/3 = 6 * 3
8 + x = 18
Now, subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x = 18 - 8
x = 10
Therefore, the number is 10.

thats wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's revisit the problem and solve it correctly.
Given: The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6.
Let's represent the unknown number as x. The equation can be written as:
(8 + x)/3 = 6
To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
3 * (8 + x)/3 = 6 * 3
Simplifying, we have:
8 + x = 18
Now, subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8
Simplifying further, we get:
x = 10
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 10. Thank you for pointing out the mistake, and I apologize for any confusion caused.

Jillian spent $31 to park for 6 hours. The parking garage charges a base rate of $3 for the first two hours, and than hourly rate for each additional hour. How much does each additional hour of parking cost?
To find out the cost of each additional hour of parking, we first need to determine the cost of the first two hours (which is the base rate) and then subtract it from the total cost.
Given information:
Total cost (C) = $31
Number of hours parked (H) = 6
Base rate (B) = $3 (for the first two hours)
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Calculate the cost of the first two hours:
Cost of the first two hours = Base rate = $3
2. Calculate the cost of parking for the remaining hours (additional hours):
Cost of additional hours = Total cost - Cost of the first two hours
Cost of additional hours = $31 - $3 = $28
3. Determine the number of additional hours:
Number of additional hours = Total number of hours - 2 hours (included in the base rate)
Number of additional hours = 6 - 2 = 4
4. Calculate the cost of each additional hour:
Cost of each additional hour = Cost of additional hours / Number of additional hours
Cost of each additional hour = $28 / 4 = $7
Therefore, each additional hour of parking costs $7.
Given information:
Total cost (C) = $31
Number of hours parked (H) = 6
Base rate (B) = $3 (for the first two hours)
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Calculate the cost of the first two hours:
Cost of the first two hours = Base rate = $3
2. Calculate the cost of parking for the remaining hours (additional hours):
Cost of additional hours = Total cost - Cost of the first two hours
Cost of additional hours = $31 - $3 = $28
3. Determine the number of additional hours:
Number of additional hours = Total number of hours - 2 hours (included in the base rate)
Number of additional hours = 6 - 2 = 4
4. Calculate the cost of each additional hour:
Cost of each additional hour = Cost of additional hours / Number of additional hours
Cost of each additional hour = $28 / 4 = $7
Therefore, each additional hour of parking costs $7.
Daisy has 6 more than times as many seashells as Lucy. Daisy has 36 seashells. How many does Lucy have?
Let's represent the number of seashells Lucy has as x.
Given information:
Daisy has 6 more than times as many seashells as Lucy: Daisy = (x * k) + 6, where k represents the factor.
Daisy has 36 seashells: Daisy = 36.
Equating the two expressions for Daisy:
(x * k) + 6 = 36
To solve for x, we need to determine the value of k.
We can start by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:
(x * k) = 36 - 6
x * k = 30
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by k to isolate x:
x = 30 / k
Since we don't have any additional information about the value of k, we cannot determine the exact value of x. We can only express Lucy's number of seashells in terms of k:
Lucy has x seashells.
Given information:
Daisy has 6 more than times as many seashells as Lucy: Daisy = (x * k) + 6, where k represents the factor.
Daisy has 36 seashells: Daisy = 36.
Equating the two expressions for Daisy:
(x * k) + 6 = 36
To solve for x, we need to determine the value of k.
We can start by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:
(x * k) = 36 - 6
x * k = 30
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by k to isolate x:
x = 30 / k
Since we don't have any additional information about the value of k, we cannot determine the exact value of x. We can only express Lucy's number of seashells in terms of k:
Lucy has x seashells.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the problem correctly:
Given information:
Daisy has 6 more than times as many seashells as Lucy: Daisy = (x * k) + 6, where k represents the factor.
Daisy has 36 seashells: Daisy = 36.
Equating the two expressions for Daisy:
(x * k) + 6 = 36
To solve for x, we need to determine the value of k.
We can start by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:
(x * k) = 36 - 6
x * k = 30
Now, let's consider the given answer options:
1. If x = 14, then (x * k) = 14k. However, 14k cannot be equal to 30. So, 14 is not the correct answer.
2. If x = 90, then (x * k) = 90k. However, 90k cannot be equal to 30. So, 90 is not the correct answer.
3. If x = 10, then (x * k) = 10k. By solving the equation (10k = 30), we find that k = 3. Therefore, 10 is the correct answer.
4. If x = 126, then (x * k) = 126k. However, 126k cannot be equal to 30. So, 126 is not the correct answer.
Hence, Lucy has 10 seashells, which is the correct answer.

4. If x = 126, then (x * k) = 126k. However, 126k cannot be equal to 30. So, 126 is not the correct answer.
Hence, Lucy has 10 seashells, which is the correct answer.
