Eight times number, increased by 6 is 62. what is the number?

7

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we can set up an equation in order to find the number. Let’s first read the first half of this sentence which states “8 times a number.” This means that we are multiplying 8 by the number. Since we don’t know the number, we can use any variable we want to represent it. I’ll use the variable “n” to represent the number.

Next, the second half of the sentence is telling us that if we increase 8n by 6, we will get a sum of 62. Now, let’s set up our equation.

8n + 6 = 62

-6 -6 ← subtract 6 on both sides of the equation

8n = 56

÷8 ÷8 ← divide both sides by 8

N = 7

3/6   and 9/18
