Let's call the number we're trying to find "x".
According to the problem, the sum of 8 and x divided by 3 equals 6. We can write this as an equation:
(8 + x) / 3 = 6.

To solve for x, we need to isolate it. First, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
3 * (8 + x) / 3 = 6 * 3.
This simplifies to:
8 + x = 18.

Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8.
This simplifies to:
x = 10.

So, the number we're looking for is x = 10.
