To solve the equation, let's write it out:
8 - x/3 = 6
To isolate the variable x, we first need to subtract 8 from both sides:
8 - 8 - x/3 = 6 - 8
Simplifying:
-x/3 = -2
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -3 to get rid of the fraction:
-3 * (-x/3) = -3 * (-2)
Simplifying:
x = 6
So, the number we're looking for is 6.
Therefore, the correct answer is not given in the options provided.
8, minus some number divided by 3, equals 6. Find the number.
