Mary bought some books for \( \$ 6 \) each and received a discount of \( \$ 8 \) off of her total purchase. She spent \( \$ 58 \) after the discount. How many books did she buy? \( \square b+\square=\square \) (a) Write an equation that could be used to answer the question above. First, choose the appropriate form. Then, fill in the blanks with the numbers 6,8 , and 58 . Let \( b \) represent the number of books. \( \square b-\square=\square \) (b) Solve the equation in part (a) to find the number of books. \( b=\square \)
