Call the unknown number X.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "6 times that number is 6*X
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "14 more than that number is X + 14
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Set the two equal and you have:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "6*X = X + 14 <==== this may be the answer you are looking for.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You can simplify this by subtracting X from both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "5X = 14
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for X by dividing both sides by 5 to get:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "X = 14/5 = 2.8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check. 6 times 2.8 is 16.8. Is this 14 more than X. In other words is 16.8 actually 14 more
\n" ); document.write( "than 2.8??? Yes it is because when you take 14 from 16.8 you get 2.8, which we found X to be.
