Hey there!!
Let's take the number as 'x'.
First, we multiply the number by 2 = 2x
Then, subtract 6 = 2x - 6
Then, divide by 8 = ( 2x - 6 ) / 4
The resulting value is 8.
... (2x-6)/4 = 8
Now, let's multiply both the sides by 8.
... 2x-6 = 32
Adding 6 on both sides.
... 2x = 32+6
... 2x = 38
... x = 38 / 2
... x = 19
Hence, the number we are thinking of is 19.
Hope my answer helps!
