Answer:

\large\boxed{23}

Step-by-step explanation:

Six times a number is decreased by fourteen, the result is 124.

Write an equation that represents this

(6 * x) - 14 = 124

Multiply 6 by x to remove the parenthesis

6x - 14 = 124

Add 14 to both sides of the equation

6x = 138

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

x = 23

The unknown number is \large\boxed{23}

Hope this helps :)

Over [174]
Looking at this we can group like terms. What are like terms? They are terms that have the same variable that we can add or subtract. In this case the like terms are 6m and m because they both have the same variable and we could add them together to get 7m.
