Question

If six times a number is decreased by fourteen, the result is 124. What is the number

Answer 1

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 :)

Answer 2

Answer:

138

Step-by-step explanation

6x-14=124

6x=124+14

x=138/6        138/6=23

X=23
