We represent the unknown number by x. If the number is added to itself seven times, the number would be 8x. The equation we can derived from the condition is,
                                        8x = x + 14
The value of x is 2. Therefore, the answer is letter B. 2.

Answer:

Correct option is:

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the number.

A number added to itself seven additional times ( x+(x+x+x+x+x+x+x)=8x)

is fourteen more than the number.

⇒ 8x=x+14

⇒ 7x=14

dividing by 7 on both sides

⇒ x=2

Hence, Correct option is:

B. 2
