Answer: n = 42

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this, we can translate the question into an equation. First we have the word "something" which represents what we don't know so we can give that the variable n.

Next we have "divided by 3" which means we will put 3 under n so we will have n/3. Then, we know that it equals 14 so we have n/3 = 14.

Since n is being divided by 3, to get n by itself, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 3. On the left side, the 3 and 3 cancel and we have n. On the right side, 14 x 3 is 42 so n = 42.
