-------
Let the number be "x":
Equation:
(x/6) + 4 = x - 11
----
x - (x/6) = 4 + 11
--------
(5/6)x = 15
x = 15(6/5)
x = 18

:
let n = "the number" and just write an equation for what it says:
+ 4 = n - 11
subtract 4 from both sides
= n - 11 - 4
= n - 15
Multiply both sides by 6
n = 6(n-15)
n = 6n - 90
90 = 6n - n
90 = 5n
n = 90/5
n = 18 is the number

See if that works in the statement
"Four added to the quotient of a number and 6 is equal to 11 less than the number"
+ 4 = 18 - 11
3 + 4 = 7

Add to both sides
