    The word "less than" switches the order around.

    So instead of 8 - 7n = 6, our equation is 7n - 8 = 6.

    Solving from here, we add 8 to both sides to get 7n = 14.

    Now divide both sides by 7 to get n = 2.

    The number is 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The fastest way to solve this it to retrace the steps. So ...

    (7) (x) - 8=6

    6+8=14

    14/7=2

    Thus, 2 is your answer.
