Question

Write an equation to represent the following description "fourteen less than 8 times a number is -11

Answer 1

(8 * x) -14 = -11

Explanation:

* = multiply sign (i didnt want to put "x" as the multiply sign since "x" is already being used) ( mightve confused you with 2 "x"s in the parenthesis.

x = the number that is missing being multiplied by 8

I put "8" multiplied by "x" in parenthesis since you do parenthesis first in an equation.
