the sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6 find the number

Answer 1

Let's call the number "x".

The given equation can be written as:
(8 + x) / 3 = 6

To find the value of x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the denominator:
8 + x = 18

Then, we subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
x = 18 - 8
x = 10

Therefore, the number we are looking for is 10.
