To find x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Let's solve the equation step by step:
50 - 4x = 6
First, we can subtract 50 from both sides of the equation to move it to the other side:
-4x = 6 - 50
Simplifying the right side gives:
-4x = -44
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -4 to solve for x:
x = -44 / -4
Simplifying the right side gives:
x = 11
Therefore, the number is 11.
