I am Thinking of a number. I multiply it by 3 and add 67. I get the same answer If i multiply by 6 subtract 8.

Let the number be n. We're given two equal expressions:
  1. 3n + 67
  2. 6n - 8
Set the expressions equal to each other since they give the same answer:
3n + 67 = 6n - 8

We have an equation. Type this equation into our search engine and we get:
n = 25
