Eight more than the square of a number is the same as six times the number. Find the number.

Answer 1

"the square of a number": \(x^2\)
"eight more than the square of a number": \(8+x^2\)
"six times the number": \(6x\)
"is the same as": \(=\)
"eight more than the square of a number is the same as six times the number": \[8+x^2=6x\]

Do you know how to solve that for \(x\)?
