Answer 1

(3m-4)=14
3m= 14+4
3m=18
m=18/3
So, m= 6

Hope it helped!

Answer 2

Given,

4 less from thrice a number m is 14.

To find,

Represent the problem as an equation.

Solution,

The given number is m. Therefore thrice the number m is 3m.

Now 4 is subtracted from thrice the number m. Mathematically it can be represented as ⇒ 3m - 4.

The difference obtained after subtracting 4 from thrice a number is 14. Mathematically it can be represented as ⇒ 3m - 4 = 14.

Hence the given problem can be mathematically represented as-

3m - 4 = 14.

We can also find the value of m by solving the equation.

3m - 4 = 14

3m = 14+4

3m = 18

m = 6
