Answer:

It is 3.

Explanation:

By looking at the sentences, you can translate the sentences to equations.

The sum of two numbers is 90, so this involves addition because the sum is the answer of an addition problem. x+y=90.

x is the larger number

y is the smaller number

The larger number is 14 more than or addition sign 3 times or multiplying the smaller number (y).

The equation would be x=14+3y because it is 3 times the smaller number.

Hope this helps!
