Question

If you subtract fourteen from twice a number, the result is six. what is the number?

Answer 1

i believe that the answer is going to be 34

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

Let the number be
`x`. We set up an equation to get

`2x-14=6`.

Adding 14 to both sides gives

`2x=20`,

and dividing both sides by 2 we have

`x=10.`

Hence, the number is
`\boxed{10}`.
