Question

Which situation CANNOT be represented by this equation? −14x+14=8

Answer 1

-14x + 14 = 8

 A hot-air balloon has an 8-foot diameter that is changing at a rate of 14 foot per minute. How long in minutes, x, will it take until the balloon has a diameter of 14 feet?

 We observe that when we clear x we have:
 -14x = 14-8
 -14x = 6
 Which means that the balloon will not reach a diameter of 14 feet

Answer 2

Answer:

The third option is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

$-14x+14=8$

A hot-air balloon has an 8-foot diameter that is changing at a rate of 14 foot per minute. How long in minutes, x, will it take until the balloon has a diameter of 14 feet?

The equation in this case will be : $8-14x= 14$
