n added to a number equals 14. A number added to 14 equals 114. What does the variable y represent? And what number plus 14 equals 114?

I keep coming up with n = 0 and x = 100

I think we are all trying to understand what your problem really says.

Where does the y come in?
and what does x represent?

part of your question says, "And what number plus 14 equals 114?"
That is obviously 100.

y was an error on my part it should also be an n

"n" can stand for any number.

100 + 14 = 114

However, it would not be the same n as in "n added to a number equals 14." Is that another error on your part?

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

Based on the given information, let's try to solve the problem step by step.

1. "n added to a number equals 14."
This sentence implies that there is some unknown number (let's call it x) which, when added to n, equals 14. So we can write this as an equation:
n + x = 14

2. "A number added to 14 equals 114."
This sentence tells us that there is another unknown number (let's call it y) which, when added to 14, equals 114. So we can write this equation as:
y + 14 = 114

Now let's proceed to solve these equations:

Equation 1: n + x = 14
Since we don't have any specific values for n and x, we cannot solve this equation algebraically. However, if you have been given additional information about the relationship between n and x, you might be able to find a solution.

Equation 2: y + 14 = 114
To find the value of y, we need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation. Let's solve for y:

y + 14 = 114
Subtract 14 from both sides:
y = 114 - 14
y = 100

Therefore, the variable y represents the number 100.

In summary, we cannot determine the value of n or the relationship between n and x without further information. However, we have found that the variable y represents the number 100.
