Let us suppose the number is x. Now we try to make an algebraic expression going step by step.
Step 1:
Five times the number means 5 multiplied by x.
So it becomes 5x.
Step 2:
Sum of 14 and five times the number means 5x+14.
Step 3:
Number multiplied by -8 means -8x.
Step 4:
Subtract the expression in step (3) from expression in step (2)
5x+14-(-8x)
Now we can simplify it further,
5x+14+8x
Combining like terms,
13x+14
Answer: The final expression becomes 13x+14.
Answer:
N = -3n+8 Brainlist please :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9.
Let 2x, 7x and 9x be the amounts of money that David, Agil and Frances get respectively.
We are told that Frances gets $80 more than David. So we can write this information in an equation as:

Now let us solve for x.


Now let us substitute
in 7x (amount of money that Egil gets).

Upon cancelling out 7 from numerator and denominator we will get,
Therefore, Egil will get $80.
