Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's disect the problem. Three times a particular number plus fourteen equals 20. Let's make an equation, and replace the number with x.

<h2>3x + 14 = 20</h2><h3>The "3x" represents the 3 times the number,</h3><h3>the 14 represents the 14 added to make 20.</h3><h2>Let's solve the equation!</h2>

We'll first minus 14 from each side to balance the equation, but with the intention of isolating the variable, x.

<h2>3x = 6</h2>

We have almost successfully isolated the variable. To isolate the variable, we can divide by three on each side.

<h2>x = 2</h2><h2>The number is 2.</h2>
