Translate the following statement into an algebraic equaion. Let x represent the number. 6 times a number is 14 more than that number.

If "the number", "a number" and "that number" are the same, then
6x > x+14

They are stating an inequality but asking for an equation. Shame on the teacher.
Thank you
