The difference between a number multiplied by seven and fourteen is greater than nine.

Answer 1

So, Let x = the unknown number

7x - 14 > 9 therefore, 7x > 23 and x > 23/7

Since it was not stated, the problem could have been 14 - 7x > 9

In this case -7x > -5

and then -x > -5/7

or x < 5/7

It depends on how you interpret the problem!
