Ahmad is thinking of a number.
If he multiplies the number by 2 and adds 14 the result is the same as if we subtract 8 from 4 times the number.
• let number be X write an equation in terms of x.
•Solve the equation.
•Find the result.

The equation is 2x + 14 = 4x - 8 and,

The number is 11

Step-by-step explanation: We start with the unknown number x and multiply it by 2, which gives us 2 times x, or simply put, 2x. If we add 14, it becomes 2x + 14. The result becomes the other side of the equation, and times 4 of x means 4x. If we subtract 8 from that, it can be written properly as 4x - 8.

So the complete equation from our word problem is

2x + 14 = 4x - 8

We collect like terms and we have

14 + 8 = 4x - 2x

Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of the equation it becomes negative and vice versa

22 = 2x

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

11 = x

Therefore the unknown number is 11

hi,

i'm 75% sure the answer is 1,1 to both lines.

have a great day
