We are given with the statement: a number added to 8 times the numbers reciprocal is 6 and told to determine the numbers. let n be the number. the expression then is represented as n + 8 (1/n) = 6

n + 8 (1/n) = 6

n2 + 8 = 6n

This is a quadratic equation, hence the number could be n = 4 or n = 2.
