Question

If 14 is subtracted from the product of 4 and a certain number, the result is 5

Answer 1

Answer:

19/4

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x - 14 = 5$

$4x = 5 + 14$

$4x = 19$

$x = \frac{19}{4}$

Check

$4( \frac{19}{4}) - 14 = 5$

$19 - 14 = 5$

$5 = 5$

Answer 2

Appropriate Question -

• If 14 is subtracted from the product of 4 and a certain number, the result is 5. Find the number.

Answer -

• The number = 19/4.

To find -

• The number.

Step-by-step explanation -

• In the question, it is given that if 14 is subtracted from the product of 4 and a certain number, the result is 5. We have to find that number.

Let -

• The number be "x".

According to the question -

• 4 * x - 14 = 5.

Solving the given equation -

$\implies \mathfrak{4 \times x - 14 = 5}$

$\implies\mathfrak{4x - 14 = 5}$

$\implies\mathfrak{4x = 5 + 14}$

$\implies \mathfrak{4x = 19}$

$\implies \mathfrak{x = \dfrac{19}{4}}$

Hence -

• The number is 19/4.

________________________________

Verification -

• To check our answer, let's substitute the value of "x" in the equation and see whether LHS = RHS.

LHS :

$\rm \longrightarrow 4 \times y - 14$

$\longrightarrow \rm 4 \times \dfrac{19}{4} - 14$

$\longrightarrow \rm \cancel{\dfrac{76}{4}} - 14$

$\longrightarrow \rm 19 - 14$

$\longrightarrow \rm 5$

RHS :

$\longrightarrow \rm 5$

LHS = RHS.

Hence verified!!
