Let's represent the unknown number as "x". We can write the given equation as:
(8 + x) / 3 = 6
To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
8 + x = 18
Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 8 from both sides:
x = 10
Therefore, the answer is x = 10. However, the given choices do not include this answer.
The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6. Find the number.
A)6
B)-2/3
C)-6
D)52
