Question

10. 8 fewer than the sum of 14 and a number

Answer 1

Answer: 14 + x - 8 (can also be 6 + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

8 fewer means we're subtracting 8, which is -8

Sum of 14 and a number would be 14 + x

All of this combined would be 14 + x - 8 but if you want to simplify it, you can subtract 8 from 14 and get 6. This would be 6 + x.

Answer 2

Answer:

6 +x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Sum of 14 and a number = 14 +x

8 fewer than (14 + x )= 14 + x - 8 = 6 +x
