10\text{ + }(w)/(14)Step-by-step explanation:

To express the statement algebraically, we will break down the sentence into phrases or words we can interprete numerically:

the unknown number = w

one fourteenth = 1/14

one fourteenth of some number w:


\begin{gathered} =(1)/(14)* w \\ =\text{ }(w)/(14) \end{gathered}

10 more: it means we will be adding 10 to the algebraic expression after

10 more than one-fourteenth of some number w will be:


=10\text{ + }(w)/(14)
