    If I add 8 to the number and then multiply the result by 6 I get the same answer as when I add 58 to a number. Form an equation

    Let the number be n. We're given:
    6(n + 8) = n + 58

    Multiply through:
    6n + 48 = n + 58

    To solve this equation for n, we type it into our search engine and we get:
    n = 2
