Ahmad is thinking of a number.
If he multiplies the number by 2 and adds 14 the result is the same as if we subtract 8 from 4 times the number.
• let number be X write an equation in terms of x.
•Solve the equation.
•Find the result.

The equation is 2x + 14 = 4x - 8 and,

The number is 11

Step-by-step explanation: We start with the unknown number x and multiply it by 2, which gives us 2 times x, or simply put, 2x. If we add 14, it becomes 2x + 14. The result becomes the other side of the equation, and times 4 of x means 4x. If we subtract 8 from that, it can be written properly as 4x - 8.

So the complete equation from our word problem is

2x + 14 = 4x - 8

We collect like terms and we have

14 + 8 = 4x - 2x

Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of the equation it becomes negative and vice versa

22 = 2x

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

11 = x

Therefore the unknown number is 11

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

f(x)=2/3x-8, which give g(x) the greatest value.
