If a number is multiples by 7 and then divided by 4, the result is 14. What is the number?
Answer: 8
Explanation
Let's denote the unknown number as 𝑥
According to the problem, the number is first multiplied by 7 and then divided by 4, resulting in 14.
This can be expressed as the equation:
7x/4 - 14
To solve for 𝑥 follow these steps:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:
7x = 14 x 4
7x = 56
2. Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x:
x = 56/7
x = 8
therefore, the number is 8
