Question 97676
   14 is 3 times the difference of  anumber and 6.

  let 
     the number = x

   so, 3 * ( 6 - x) = 14

    so, 6 - x = 14 / 3

    so, 6 - 14/3 = x

     so, (18 - 14) / 3 = x

     so, 4/3= 1.3 =x


   check :

     3*(6 - 4/3)

     = 3 * ( (18-4)/3) 

      = 3 * 14 /3

        = 14
