Answer: Missing number = 9

Explanation:

Hii, do you need to know the answer to your question? No problem! (:

First, let the unknown number be s.

Next, we need to multiply 4 times s:
\boldsymbol{4s}.

Next, we multiply 3 times s:
\boldsymbol{3s}

We obtain this.
\boldsymbol{4s+3s=63}.

Note that we can combine "like terms" here.
\boldsymbol{7s=63}.

Next, we can divide both sides by 7 to solve for "s".
\boldsymbol{s=9}.

Voila! There's our solution, cheers! (:
