Answer 1

Let the unknown number be $x$. According to the problem, the equation can be set up as follows:

$$\frac{8+x}{3}=6$$

To solve for $x$, first multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

$$8+x=18$$

Next, subtract 8 from both sides:

$$x=18-8$$ $$x=10$$

Therefore, the solution for the unknown number is $x=10$.
