x = business man's salary
y = employee's salary
x + 10y = 64000
x = 6y
6y + 10y = 64000
16y = 64000
y = 64000/16 = 4000
x = 6*4000
x = 24000
business man's salary was $24,000

If every student (and there are 14 students) needs 3/4 stick of butter, the equation is 3/4 x 14 = 10 1/2
Answer:
Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subtraction property of equality tells you the equal sign only remains valid if you subtract the same value from both sides of the equation.
