The number/awnser is 11

Answer 2

11

Explanation:

Using the information in the problem we know that subtracting 23 from 4 times of a number, which we can set as x, gives us 21. This gives us the equation 4x-23=21. Simplifying the equation will give us the answer. Adding 23 to both sides gives us 4x=44. Dividing both sides by 4 we get that the number is 11.
