Fourteen more than three times a number is 2

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following word problem which we can solve by breaking it down into parts and translating it into numerical values:

Fourteen more than three times a number is 2.

1. Fourteen more than ---> + 14

2. three times a number ---> 3x (assuming the number to be x)

3. is 2 ---> = 2

So combining these, we get:

3x + 14 = 2

Solving this to get:

3x = 2 - 14

3x = -12

x = -12/3

x = -4
