Answer:

Explanation:

Let the number be x

The question can be written mathematically as:

4x - 20 > 4

this is because 20 is subtracted (-20) from four times the number (4x) and the answer is supposed to be more than 4 ( >4 )

therefore 4x > 4 + 20

4x > 24

x > 24/4

x > 6

Hence x is any number greater than 6; (7, 8, 9,.... for real numbers)
