Question

Laiba is thinking of a number. If she multiplies the number by 2 and add
14, the result is the same as if she subtracts 8 from 4 times the number.
Let the number be x, Write an equation in terms of x.
Solve the equation.
Find the result.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x

according to the problem

2x+14=4x-8

14+8=4x-2x

22=2x

22/2=x

11=x

so, the required number is 11

Answer 2

if the number is x

According to the question ,

• Multiplying by 2 = 2x
• Adding 14 = 2x + 14
• Final touch = 2x + 14 = 4x - 8

Equation is

• 2x + 14 = 4x - 8

Solving ,

• 2x - 4x = - 8 - 14
• - 2x = -22
• 2x = 22
• x = 22 ÷ 2
• x = 11
