Question 115173

Translate into an algebraic equation.


{{{6}}} times a number is {{{14}}} more than that number


if a number is {{{x}}}, then

{{{6x = x + 14}}}.......move {{{x}}} to the left

{{{6x - x = 14}}}

{{{5x = 14}}}

{{{x = 14/5}}}

{{{x = 2.8}}}

check:
{{{6x = 6*2.8 = 16.8}}}

{{{6x -x = 14}}}.......

{{{16.8 - 2.8 = 14}}}.......

{{{14 = 14}}}.......
