Question

PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY NEED THIS

Tony made 14 decorations for the class party. He made 8 times as many decorations as Jack did, but he lost 2. Which equation could be used to find the number of decorations & Jack
made?
O 8x + 2 = 14
O 8 - 2 = 14
O2 + 8 = 14
O 22-8 = 14

Answer 1

It is either a or b. since 8-2 does not equal 14, and 8+2 does not equal 14. I think it is most likely to be a though.
