Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{23}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Six times a number is decreased by fourteen, the result is 124.

Write an equation that represents this

(6 * x) - 14 = 124

Multiply 6 by x to remove the parenthesis

6x - 14 = 124

Add 14 to both sides of the equation

6x = 138

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

x = 23

The unknown number is [tex]\large\boxed{23}[/tex]

Hope this helps :)
