Let's represent the number as 'x'.
The given equation can be expressed as:
(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
Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8
x = 10
Therefore, the number is 10.
The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6. Find the number.
