If the sum of eight and a number is multiplied by six, the result is 156,
let number be x

A)Write the equation
the sum of eight and a number:8%2Bx
is multiplied by six:%288%2Bx%296
the result is 156:%288%2Bx%296=156
B)find the number

%288%2Bx%296=156...solve for x
48%2B6x=156
6x=156-48
6x=108
x=108%2F6
x=18
