Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x

therefore 7 times the number is 7x

adding both we get x + 7x= 8x

8x + 14= 38

8x = 38 - 14

8x=24

x= 24/8

x=3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

- Write the question in an equation. This always helps when answering questions like this

x = 7y

14 + x + y = 38

- Substitute 7y for x and rewrite the equation

14 + 7y + y = 38

- Simplify this equation by collecting like terms

14 + 8y = 38

- Try to get what you're trying to solve alone

8y + 14 = 38

     - 14 = 24

8y = 24

- Now just solve!

8y = 24

y = 24/8

y = 3

- Solve for x

x = 7y

x = 7 x 3

x = 21

- Now see if you answer meets all requirements

x = 21

y = 3

21 + 3 + 14 = 38

Hope this helped and have a great day! :)
