Hey there!

First of all, the quotient of a number and 6 means you divide that number by 6.

Let the number be x.

Then, eight more means you add 8:

8+(6÷x)=3

That's the answer.

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Answer: -30

Steps:
Create an equation with the given information. (x/6) + 8 = 3

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

x = -30
