    He worked an 8 hour day 3 days.

    Let x be the number of 8 hour days he works. Then 10-x is the number of 6 hour days he works.

    8x + 6 (10-x) = 66

    Using the distributive property,

    8x + 6*10 - 6*x = 66

    8x + 60 - 6x = 66

    Combining like terms,

    2x + 60 = 66

    Subtract 60 from both sides:

    2x + 60 - 60 = 66 - 60

    2x = 6

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2x/2 = 6/2

    x = 3

    There were 3 days he worked 8 hours.
