Let the number be y.
One third of y = (1/3)*y = y/3
This is decreased by 6; y/3 - 6
And it equals 8
That means:
y/3 - 6 = 8
y/3 = 8 + 6
y/3 = 14
y = 3*14
y = 42
The number is 42.
I hope this helps.
The answer is three and twelve
0.85714286 this is the answer buddy
It looks like a "V" going straight up from 0, and hits both 4 and -4 y while going up perfectly
35 is the answer to this equation I think
