Ruth Joseph · Answer 1

"Fourteen less than ... "

? - 14

" ... 5 times a number ... "

5x - 14

" ... is 1."

5x - 14 = 1

Now if you are looking to solve that equation, start by adding 14 to both sides:

5x = 15

Then divide both sides by 5:

x = 15/5

x = 3

Answer:

5x - 14 = 1

Justine · Answer 2

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 14 = 1

5x - 14 + 14 = 1 + 14

5x = 15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 3
