Translate the following statement into an algebraic equation. Let x represent the number.
\n" ); document.write( " 6 times a number is 14 more than that number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x represent the number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 times the number is 6 times x or 6x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(if the number was 3 instead of x, figuring out what 6 times 3 is would be a no brainer, right?------it would be 6 times 3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"is\" usually means =\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " the number is x, so 14 more than the number is x+14\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(if the number was 2 instead of x, figuring out what 14 more than 2 is would be a no brainer, right?----it would be 2+14)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(Why does it have to get so hard when we are dealing in unknowns instead of regular, everyday numbers? Answer: It really doesn't)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, putting it all together:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x=x+14---------------------------------answer\r
