Set it up as an equation. "A number" is x.
2x-2=x+64
Move all of the x terms to one side by subtracting x from both sides, then add 2 to both sides to isolate x.
X=66
The number is 66
Let us suppose the number is x. Now we try to make an algebraic expression going step by step.
Step 1:
Five times the number means 5 multiplied by x.
So it becomes 5x.
Step 2:
Sum of 14 and five times the number means 5x+14.
Step 3:
Number multiplied by -8 means -8x.
Step 4:
Subtract the expression in step (3) from expression in step (2)
5x+14-(-8x)
Now we can simplify it further,
5x+14+8x
Combining like terms,
13x+14
Answer: The final expression becomes 13x+14.
It truly depends on the ticket you got.
It's 0 because 10+10 = 20 then subtract 20 and you get zero.
