Question

18 less than 14 times a number is 80. What is the number?

Answer 1

18 less than 7 times a number is 80

Answer 2

The number is 7.

Explanation:

Let x is the number.

As per statement given in the question 14 times of the number = 14x

18 less than 14 times of the number = 14x - 18

Now the given expression = 80

14x - 18 = 80

14x = 80 + 18

14x = 98

x = 98/14

x = 7

Therefore 7 is the number.
