Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve this problem, let's let the number be represented by the variable x.

The given equation is: (8 + x)/3 = 6

To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

3 * (8 + x)/3 = 6 * 3

This simplifies to: 8 + x = 18

Next, we can 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, we can set up an equation based on the information given.

Let's call the number "x."

The sum of 8 and the number divided by 3 equals 6 can be written as:

(8 + x)/3 = 6

To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:

3 * (8 + x)/3 = 6 * 3

This simplifies to:

8 + x = 18

Next, we can subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8

This simplifies to:

x = 10

So, the number is 10.

To find the number, we need to solve the equation. Let's break down the given information into an equation:

The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6.

Mathematically, this can be represented as:

(8 + x) / 3 = 6

where x represents the unknown number we are trying to find.

Now we can solve for x. To isolate x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate 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:

8 + x - 8 = 18 - 8

This simplifies to:

x = 10

Therefore, the number is 10.
