Question

Fourteen more than twice a number is 6 times the difference of the number and 7. What is the number?

Answer 1

14 = n

Explanation:

`14 + 2n = 6 ( n -7)` distribute 6 over the parenthesis

`14 + 2n = 6n - 42` add 42 to both sides and subtract 2n

`14 + 42 + 2n - 2n = 6n- 2n - 42 + 42` This gives

`56 = 4n` divide both sides by 4

`56/4 = 4n/4` which results in

`14 = n`
