• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Explanation:

Step 1: Translate

"Three" = 3

"times" = multiplication

"a number k" = k

"is more than" = >

"14" = 14

Step 2: Set up inequality

3k > 14

Step 3: Solve for k

1. Divide both sides by 3: k > 14/3

Here we see that any number k greater than 14/3, or 4.666..., will work as a solution.
