Question 926216: The result of adding 14 to twice a number is the same as subtracting 8 from four times the same number. What is the number? Answer by Roseghanezadeh(16) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! So from the question we can write this equation:
14 + 2x = 4x - 8
Because it says that adding 14 to twice a number which is "14 + 2x" is the same as "=" subtracting 8 from four times the number which is "4x - 8"
Now you can solve by taking like terms to one side:
14 + 8 = 4x - 2x
22 = 2x
x = 11
Check:
14 + 2(11) = 4(11) - 8
36 = 36
