Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation

First let's create an equation

Let x = number

Product is outcome of multiplication

The product of 10 and a number can be written as 10x

Were supposed to add 6 to the product and that should equal 36

So the equation is 10x + 6 = 36

We now solve for x using basic algebra

10x + 6 = 36

Subtract 6 from both sides

10x = 30

Divide both sides by 10

X = 3
