28,000 for the headquarters is the answer. The 2,000 is for the overseas branch. It's asking for the headquarters.

Yes, that is correct! The calculation would be:
14x + x = 30,000
15x = 30,000
x = 2,000
So the overseas branch has 2,000 employees, and the headquarters has 14 times as many, which is:
14x = 14 * 2,000 = 28,000
Therefore, the company's headquarters contains 28,000 employees.
14x + x = 30,000
15x = 30,000
x = 2,000
So the overseas branch has 2,000 employees, and the headquarters has 14 times as many, which is:
14x = 14 * 2,000 = 28,000
Therefore, the company's headquarters contains 28,000 employees.
