Question

Which of the following represents “ten times the sum of a number and fourteen is equal to nine times the number”

10(n+14)=9N

10(n+14)=N

10(n+14)=14

Answer 1

The answer would be 10(n+14)=9N

Answer 2

10(n+14)=9N

Explanation:

Lets let N represent the number that which we do not know.

We know that 10 is multiplied by the sum of N and 14, so lets write that down:

10(n+14)

We also know that what we just found is equal to 9 multiplied by the same number:

10(n+14)=9N

The variable stays the same throughout the entirety of the equation.
