The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6. Find the number.(1 point) Responses
Let's call the number we're trying to find "x".
According to the problem statement, we have the equation: (8 + x)/3 = 6.
To solve for x, we can first multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction: 8 + x = 18.
Next, we isolate x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation: x = 18 - 8.
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives: x = 10.
Therefore, the number we're looking for is 10.
To find the number, we need to set up an equation based on the given information and solve for the unknown number.
Let's assume the unknown number is represented by the variable "x".
According to the problem, the sum of 8 and the unknown number divided by 3 equals 6. We can write this as an equation:
(8 + x) / 3 = 6
To solve for x, we can follow these steps:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction: 3 * [(8 + x) / 3] = 3 * 6. This simplifies to: 8 + x = 18.
2. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x: 8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8. This simplifies to: x = 10.
Therefore, the number is 10.
To find the number, let's set up an equation based on the given information.
The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6:
(8 + x) / 3 = 6
To solve for the number, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by 3, to eliminate the fraction:
3 * ((8 + x) / 3) = 3 * 6
Simplifying, we get:
8 + x = 18
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the x:
8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8
Simplifying, we get:
x = 10
Therefore, the number is 10.

To find the number, let's set up the equation based on the given information.
The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6 can be written as:
(8 + x)/3 = 6
To solve for the number, we'll follow these steps:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
3 * (8 + x)/3 = 6*3
This simplifies to:
8 + x = 18
2. Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the x:
8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8
This simplifies to:
x = 10
So, the number is 10.
I CLERIFIED MY RESPONSES WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU STILL GETTING 10 FROM
I apologize for the confusion. Upon reviewing the original question and your responses, I see that you did specify the options for the number. Therefore, based on the provided options:
A. 6
B. -2/3
C. -6
D. 52
none of these options satisfy the equation (8 + x)/3 = 6. None of these options make the equation true.
It seems that there may have been an error in the options provided, or the correct option might be missing. Without any correct options provided, it is not possible to specifically identify the number that satisfies the equation.
