Question

Seven less than three times a number is 14. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps:

Use the equation 3x-7=14 to find the missing number.

Add 7 to both sides.

3x=21

Divide both sides to isolate x

x=7

Therefore, the correct answer is 7.

You can check by multiplying 7 by three and then subtracting 7 from it and get 14.
