A number is multiplied by 6. If 8 is subtracted from the product you get 34. What is the number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x-8=34 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got this by reading one step at a time. x is the unknown number. That is multiplied by 6, hence 6x. The product, which is 6x, is subtracted by 8, hence 6x-8. And it all equals 34
