Eight more then the quotient of a number and 6 is 1

the number is - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

quotient of a number and 6: x/6

8 more then the quotient of a number and 6 is 1: x/6 + 8 = 1

subtract 8 from both sides

x/6 = - 7

multiply both sides by 6 to isolate x

x=-7 times 6 = - 42.

-42 times would be the answer
