Question

i am thinking of a number i multiply by 14 qand add 12 i get the same answer if i multiply by 5 and add 246

Answer 1

x = the unknown number = 26

Explanation:

Let

x = the unknown number

i multiply by 14 qand add 12

(x * 14) + 12

= 14x + 12

i get the same answer if i multiply by 5 and add 246

(x * 5) + 246

= 5x + 246

Equate both equations

14x + 12 = 5x + 246

14x - 5x = 246 - 12

9x = 234

x = 234 / 9

x = 26

x = the unknown number = 26
