Question

Six times a number decreased by ten is eight. Find the number?

Answer 1

6x-10=8 (add 10 on both sides)

6x=18 (divide by 6)

X=3

Answer 2

`n-the\ number\\\\6* n-10=8\ \ \ \ \ |add\ 10\ to\ both\ sides\\\\6n-10+10=8+10\\\\6n=18\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\\\6n:6=18:6\\\\\huge\boxed{n=3}`


`check:\\6x-10=6(3)-10=18-10=8\\correct\ \ :)`
