Question

if 4 is added to the number and the sum is tripled, the result is 14 more than the result. What is the number?

Answer 1

3(4+n)=14+n

Cross multiply the parentheses with the 3
12+n=14+n

Move the figures so the variables are together, and the numbers are together
14-12=n-n

Simplify
2=0

This equation is untrue and has no solution.
