A number is multiplied by 3. Next, 6 is added to the product. Then, the sum is divided by 8. If the result is 6, what is the number ?
Prerequisites as follows:
A number x
is multiplied by 3. 3x
Next, 6 is added to the product. 3x + 6
Then, the sum is divided by 8. (3x + 6) / 8
If the result is 6, (3x + 6) / 8 = 6
Procedure as follows:
multiply both sides by 8 and you get 3x + 6 = 48
subtract 6 from both sides and you get 3x = 42
divide both sides by 3 and you get x = 14
what is the number ? 14
