<u>Answer:</u>
x = -4
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given the following word problem which we can solve by breaking it down into parts and translating it into numerical values:
Fourteen more than three times a number is 2.
1. Fourteen more than ---> + 14
2. three times a number ---> 3x (assuming the number to be x)
3. is 2 ---> = 2
So combining these, we get:
3x + 14 = 2
Solving this to get:
3x = 2 - 14
3x = -12
x = -12/3
x = -4
