Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

6 times a number added to 10 is 8 times the same number.

Find:

The number

Solution:

Let the number = x

6 times a number = 6x

According to question :

6 times a number added to 10 is 8 times the same number

⇒ 6x + 10 = 8x

⇒ 6x - 8x = -10

⇒ -2x = -10

⇒ 2x = 10

⇒ x = 10 / 2

⇒ x = 5

The number = 5

Verification :

6 times a number added to 10 is 8 times the same number

⇒ 6x + 10 = 8x

⇒ 6(5) + 10 = 8(5)

⇒ 6 × 5 + 10 = 8 × 5

⇒ 30 + 10 = 40

⇒ 40 = 40
