Answer:

The number is 5

Explanation:

You need to find a number that sum three times and then sum 4 the total is 19.

Lets call this number "X"

You could make the next equation:

4+x+x+x=19

In another form:

4+3X=19

Now we need to clear the X:

3X=19-4

3X=15

X=15/3

X=5

To make sure this is the correct answer, we could replace the X

4+5+5+5=19
