Answer 10

I'll help you explain Toast. You see, we simply must understand what the problem is asking us. Ten times. That means we're going to multiply something by 10. The sum of a number and 14 means N + 14. Equals nine times a number. Means N times 9. When we get the parts it turns into 10(N + 14) = 9N.
