Correct Answer: 8
Solution : Let the number be $x$. According to the question, $\frac{58}{x}+\frac{3}{4}=x$ $\Rightarrow 4x^2-3x-232=0$ $\Rightarrow 4x^2-32x+29x-232=0$ $\Rightarrow 4x(x-8)+29(x-8)=0$ $\Rightarrow (4x+29)(x-8) =0$ $\Rightarrow (4x+29)=0$ or $(x-8) =0$ $\therefore x=\frac{-29}{4},8$ Hence, the correct answer is 8.
