Seven times a number reduced by 14 is equal to the sum of 5 times the number and 6. Find the number.

Correct option is A

Given:

Seven times a number reduced by 14 is equal to the sum of 5 times the number and 6.

The number is x.

Solution: 

$$7x - 14 = 5x + 6$$ 

$$7x - 14 - 5x = 6$$ 

$$2x - 14 = 6$$ 

$$2x = 6 + 14$$ 

$$2x = 20$$ 

$$x = \frac{20}{2}$$ $$=10$$ 

The number is 10
