Question

If number is decreased by 14, the result is 24​

Answer 1

`n-14=24`

Explanation:

`n=38`

Answer 2

38

Explanation:

If a number (x) is decreased (-) by 14, the result (=) is 24

First, put together the equation:

x - 14 = 24

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 14 to both sides:

x - 14 (+14) = 24 (+14)

x = 24 + 14

x = 38

38 is your number.
