x = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following word problem which we can solve by breaking it down into parts and translating it into numerical values:
Fourteen more than three times a number is 2 .
1. Fourteen more than - --> + 14
2. three times a number - --> 3x (assuming the number to be x)
3. is 2 - --> = 2
So combining these, we get:
3x + 14 = 2
Solving this to get:
3x = 2 - 14
3x = - 12
x = - 12/3
x = - 4
