1. **State the problem:** A number is multiplied by 6 and then 4 is added. We need to find the number. 2. **Set up the equation:** Let the number be $x$. According to the problem, multiplying the number by 6 and adding 4 gives us an expression: $$6x + 4$$ 3. **Find the number:** Since the problem does not provide a result for the expression, we assume the expression equals the number itself (or solve for $x$ if more information is given). However, typically, the problem means to find $x$ such that the expression equals some value. Without a value, we can only express the number in terms of $x$. If the problem means "A number is multiplied by 6 and 4 is added to get the number itself," then: $$6x + 4 = x$$ 4. **Solve the equation:** $$6x + 4 = x$$ Subtract $x$ from both sides: $$6x - x + 4 = 0$$ $$5x + 4 = 0$$ Subtract 4 from both sides: $$5x = -4$$ Divide both sides by 5: $$x = \frac{-4}{5}$$ 5. **Final answer:** The number is $\boxed{-\frac{4}{5}}$. If the problem intended something else, please provide the value the expression equals.
