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
