Answer 2

`\large\bf{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Question}:}}}`

A number plus 8 is 14. what is the number?

`\large\bf{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Solution}:}}}`

It is given that a number is added with 8 and gives 14 as a solution.

Let's assume that,

`:{\implies{\small{\rm{A\:number\:be\:=\:p}}}}`

So the equation would be form,

`:{\implies{\small{\rm{p+8=14}\:\:.....(i)}}}`

Now,

By using transposition method ,

`:{\implies{\small{\rm{p=14-8}}}}`

`:{\implies{\small{\rm{p=6}}}}`

`{\therefore{\small{\rm{A\:number\:would\:be\:6.}}}}`

For verification:

Put the value of 'p' in the equation (i).

`:{\implies{\small{\rm{6+8=14}}}}`

`:{\implies{\small{\rm{14=14}}}}`

`:{\implies{\small{\rm{L.H.S=R.H.S}}}}`

Hence, verified!
