To solve this problem, let's set up an equation:
6n - 10 = 8
Now, let's solve for n:
Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
6n - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10
6n = 18
Divide both sides of the equation by 6:
6n/6 = 18/6
n = 3
Therefore, the number is 3.
However, none of the given answer choices match 3. So, we can conclude that there may be an error in the problem or answer choices.
6n - 10 = 8
Now, let's solve for n:
Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
6n - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10
6n = 18
Divide both sides of the equation by 6:
6n/6 = 18/6
n = 3
Therefore, the number is 3.
However, none of the given answer choices match 3. So, we can conclude that there may be an error in the problem or answer choices.

I apologize for the confusion. In that case, let's solve the equation again with the corrected answer choices:
6n - 10 = 8
Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
6n - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10
6n = 18
Divide both sides of the equation by 6:
6n/6 = 18/6
n = 3
Therefore, the correct number is 3, which corresponds to answer choice D.
6n - 10 = 8
Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
6n - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10
6n = 18
Divide both sides of the equation by 6:
6n/6 = 18/6
n = 3
Therefore, the correct number is 3, which corresponds to answer choice D.
