Answer 2

Answer:

The required number  = ±7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The difference between 6 times and 8 times a number is 14

To find,

The number

Solution:

Let 'x' be the number.

6 times of the number  = 6x

8 times of the number  = 8x

The difference between 6 times of the number and 8 times of the number = 6x -8x or 8x -6x

Since, The difference between 6 times of the number and 8 times of the number is 14 we have

6x -8x = 14 or 8x -6x = 14

-2x = 14 or 2x = 14

x = -7 or x = 7

The value of x = ±7

∴ The required number  = ±7
