It's 5x - 14 = 6.
let x be the number.
Since 14 is subtracted from 5 times a number. It is not automatically 14 - 5. you have to consider that 14 is actually deducted from the product of 5 and a number.
5x - 14 = 6
5x = 6 + 14
5x = 20
5x/5 = 20/5
x = 4
To check:
5x - 14 = 6
5(4) - 14 = 6
20 - 14 = 6
6 = 6
X-5=40 x=45 can I get the crown?
Did you say nevermind so I will just take these free points
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 x + x = 20
2/3 x + 3/3x = 20
5/3 x = 20 ... times 3/5 both sides
x = 12
check: 2/3 x 12 + 12 = 8 + 12 = 20
