To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.

1. Let's assume the unknown number is 'x'.
2. A third of the number is expressed as (1/3)x.
3. According to the problem, when a third of the number is added to 8, the result is more than 10. So, we can form the equation: (1/3)x + 8 > 10.

Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of 'x':

1. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: (1/3)x + 8 - 8 > 10 - 8.
Simplifying: (1/3)x > 2.

2. To isolate 'x', we need to get rid of the coefficient (1/3) by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, since (1/3) * 3 equals 1:
(1/3)x * 3 > 2 * 3.
Simplifying: x > 6.

So, the number 'x' is greater than 6.

1/3n + 8 > 10
