Let the number be x.
The sum of 8 and the number divided by 3 can be written as (8 + x)/3.
According to the problem, this expression equals 6.
Therefore, we can write the equation:
(8 + x)/3 = 6
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * (8 + x)/3 = 6 * 3
8 + x = 18
Subtracting 8 from both sides:
x = 18 - 8
x = 10
Therefore, the number is 10.
The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6. Find the number.(1 point)
