To solve the equation, let's first assign a variable to the number. Let's call it "x".
The given equation can be written as: 67x - 65 = x - 4.
To simplify, let's isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Subtracting "x" from both sides, the equation becomes: 66x - 65 = -4.
Then, add 65 to both sides: 66x = -4 + 65.
Simplifying further, we have: 66x = 61.
Finally, divide both sides by 66: x = 61/66.
Therefore, the solution is x = 61/66.
67 times a number minus 65 is equal to - 4 less than the number.
