Let the number be x. The equation can be written as (8 + x)/3 = 6.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
(8 + x) = 3 * 6
8 + x = 18
Now, subtract 8 from both sides:
x = 18 - 8
x = 10
Therefore, the number is 10.
To find the number, we need to translate the given information into an equation and solve for the unknown number.
The given information states that the sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6.
Let's call the unknown number "x".
The equation can be written as:
(8 + x) / 3 = 6
To solve the equation, we can start by multiplying both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
3 * (8 + x) / 3 = 6 * 3
(8 + x) = 18
Next, we can isolate the unknown variable by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
(8 + x) - 8 = 18 - 8
x = 10
Therefore, the number is 10.
To find the number, we need to set up an 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 x, we need to isolate it by performing operations to both sides of the equation.
First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
(8 + x) = 18
Next, we can subtract 8 from both sides to isolate x:
x = 18 - 8
x = 10
Therefore, the number is 10.
