Question 817408: Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with this word problem: Four times a number is the same as 14 less than twice the number. Find the number.
I know what is needed is to make an equation, so I came up with 7y= 2y+7y-14. Would that be correct?

A number, y.
Four times a number, 4y.
Fourteen less than twice the number, 2y-14.
All the remains for writing the equation is the meaning of "is".
