Ahmad has some files. He gave 3/5 of the files and had 14 files left.

How many files did he have at first?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of files he had be x

He gave 3/5 of the files

That's

3/5x

After that he still had 14 files left which means when we subtract 14 from the original files we should get 3/5 of the original files

So we subtract 14 from the original number of files

That's

x - 14

We equate the two statements

that's

Multiply through by 5

We have

3x = 5x - 70

3x - 5x = 70

-2x = - 70

Divide both sides by -2

We have the final answer as

Therefore he had 35 files at first

Hope this helps you

35 files

Step-by-step explanation:

gave=3/5

left=2/5 = 14f

had= 5/5

2/5=14

5/5

5×14÷2 = 35
