Turn your word problem into a linear equation.
Let the mystery number be x
Using what is given, the equation you can formulate is:
x + 6 = 6x
Subtract x from both sides
x - x + 6 = 6x - x
6 = 5x
5x = 6
Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x
5x/5 = 6/5
x = 6/5
The required number is 6/5 which is 1.20 in decimal form

Let the number be x
hence 6x=6+x
=>5x=6
=.x=6/5=1.2
Therefore the number is 1.2

in case you're asking m = n + 6 m = 6n n = ? m - m = 6n - n - 6 with the aid of combining the two equations. Then 0 = 5n - 6; so as that n = 6/5 and m = 36/5 for the two equations (i.e., a similar effect).

6 + x = 6x, subtract x from both sides to get 6x-x = 6
Factor out the x to get x (6-1) = 6
Divide both sides by (6-1) to get x = 6 / (6-1) = 6/5 = 1.2

x+6=6x so 6=5x and x=6/5 or 1.2

I think that is impossible! I tried for ages!
