If 8 times a number is added to twice the number, the result is 60. the solution is

(8 * x) + 2x = 60

8x + 2x = 60

10x = 60

/10   /10

x = 6

8 is a constant that is being multiplied by an unknown number which we will name x. It is then being added to two times the unknown number(x), so we multiply x by 2, which is 2x. The final product will be 60, so in the equation it'll then equal 60.

We consider "a number" to be a variable that withholds an unknown value, which is x (or any other variable you prefer).

The number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

8N + 2N = 60

To Find :-

N

Solving :-

8N + 2N = 60

10N = 60

N = 6

Solution :-

The number is 6
