You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x represents a number
.
Therefore 6 times a number is 6 times x or 6x
.
and this is to equal
.
14 more than a number. And 14 more than a number is 14 added to x or x + 14
.
So the equation becomes
.
6x = x + 14
.
Hope that this explanation shows how you can divide up the problem into small parts and
work on each part and eventually put the parts together to come up with an answer.
