Solution Steps

To find the number, we need to set up an equation where the unknown number plus eight equals 14. We can then solve this equation to find the unknown number.

Step 1: Set Up the Equation

The problem states that the sum of a number and 8 is 14. We can express this as an equation: \[ x + 8 = 14 \]

Step 2: Solve for the Unknown

To find the unknown number \( x \), subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: \[ x = 14 - 8 \]

Step 3: Simplify the Expression

Calculate the right-hand side: \[ x = 6 \]

Final Answer

The number is \(\boxed{6}\).
