Question

“I’m thinking of a number. If you multiply it by 6 and then add 8, you will get 32. What is my number?”

Answer 1

Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

We can write the equation as 6n + 8 = 32

~Subtract 8 to both sides

6n + 8 - 8 = 32 - 8

~Simplify

6n = 24

~Divide 6 to both sides

6n/6 = 24/6

~Simplify

n = 6

-------------------------------------------------

Hence, the answer is $\Large\boxed{\mathsf{n~=~4}}$
