Let's represent the number as "x".
According to the given information, the sum of 8 and the number divided by 3 equals 6 can be written as:
(8 + x)/3 = 6
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
8 + x = 18
Subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
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.
