Let the number be x.

According to the given information, (8 + x)/3 = 6.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
3 * (8 + x) / 3 = 6 * 3
8 + x = 18

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
x = 18 - 8
x = 10

Therefore, the number is 10.

None of the given options (A, B, C, D) match the result.

To find the number, let's set up an equation based on the given information:

(8 + x) / 3 = 6

Where x is the number we need to find.

Now, let's solve the equation step-by-step:

1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
3 * (8 + x) / 3 = 6 * 3
(8 + x) = 18

2. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:
(8 + x) - 8 = 18 - 8
x = 10

The number we are looking for is 10. Therefore, the correct answer is not given among the options A, B, C, and D.

To find the number, we can set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's call the unknown number "x".
According to the problem, the sum of 8 and the number divided by 3 equals 6. So we can write this as:

(8 + x)/3 = 6

To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:

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

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

Therefore, the number is 10.

So, the correct answer is not one of the options provided (A. 6, B. -2/3, C. -6, D. 52). The correct answer is 10.
