Question

What is the answer to this

Answer 1

Three times the variable m minus four is equal to fourteen.

Another way could be:

Four less than three multiplied by m is equivalent to fourteen.

The first way I put it is simpler but if you really want to impress your teacher then I suggest going with the second way.

Also if you are looking to solve the equation then it would be:

3m - 4 = 14

      +4   +4

     ------------

       3m = 18

      -----    -----

         3        3

m = 5

Hope that helped :-)
