Question

Kris thinks of a number. He divides by 14, subtracts 5. The number is the same as he thought of. What’s the number?

Answer 1

It says subtracts 5 not subtracted by 5 so the solutions is the following:

Let x be the number Kris thought of. Then:

x/14 - 5 = x <=>

x/14 = x+5 <=>

x = 14x+70 <=>

-13x = 70 <=>

x = -70/13 <=>

x = −5,3846

Answer 2

0

Explanation:

If you divide 14 by 0 it will be 0, and you subtract by 5 it will still be 0.
