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! :)
