18 less than 14 times a number is 80. What is the number?
Answer:
The number is 7.
Step-by-step 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.
