Let's assume the number is "x".
The given statement can be written as: 6x - 10 = 8.
To solve this equation, we can begin by adding 10 to both sides of the equation:
6x - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10
This simplifies to: 6x = 18.
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate the variable "x":
(6x)/6 = 18/6
This simplifies to: x = 3.
Therefore, the number is 3.
