Answer 1

x = 219

Explanation:

So, for this question, you are going to need to make an equation. 14 greater than a number is 233. For the variable we can use anything, lets use x.

x + 14 = 233 (This is the equation you need to use)

-14 -14 (Subtract 14 from both sides)

x = 219

Check your answer: (Substitute in 219 instead of x)

219 + 14 = 233

233 = 233
