Question

When 6 is added to four times a number, the result is 50​

Answer 1

50-6= 54

54÷4= 13.5

editing for clarity.

first you subtract the 6 from the 50 to find out what the "4 times a number" came to.

in this case, 50-6, which equals 54.

then, you divide the 54 by 4 to get 13.5.

so, the whole math problem would be

4 times 13.5 plus 6 equals 50.

Answer 2

x=the number
4x+6=-50
4x=-50-6
4x=-56
x=-56/4
x=-14
