ANSWER:
14
EXPLANATION:
Given that a number is multiplied by seven, and the product is increased by two, the result is one hundred.
Let's express this mathematically(equation).
Let the number be represented by X.
A number X is multiplied by seven = 7X
The product is increased by 2 = 7X + 2
The result is 100 = 7X + 2 = 100
We have:
7X + 2 = 100
Solve for X:
Subtract 2 from both sides:
7X + 2 - 2 = 100 - 2
7X = 98
Divide both sides by 7:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7X}{7}\text{ = }\frac{98}{7} \\ \\ X\text{ = 14} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the number is 14
