Five less than 25% of a number is twice the difference of the number and 14. write an equation that could be used to find the number, n.

(n/4) - 5  =  2(n-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n

"25% of n" : (25/100)n = n/4

"Five less than 25% of n" : (n/4) - 5  

"difference between the number and 14" : n - 14

" twice the difference between the number and 14" : 2(n-14)

Assembling all the parts:

(n/4) - 5  =  2(n-14)

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
