Let "a number" = x
4x + 6 = 50 is your equation
Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
Subtract 6 from both sides
4x + 6 (-6) = 50 (-6)
4x = 44
Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 44/4
x = 44/4
x = 11
11 is your answer for the number
hope this helps
