The product of 6 and the difference of 8 and a number where a number is the letter x?

Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be equal to x

the difference of 8 and x i. e 8-x

the product of 6 and 8-x will now be

6 (8-x)

multiplying 6 into the bracket,

= 48 - 6x = 0

48 = 6x

x = 48/6

= 8

x = 8
