I think what you are asking is, "If 4 times a number is added to 13, the result is 29. What
is the number?"
You can use x to represent the unknown number and then write this problem in equation form as:

Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation to eliminate it from the left side of the equation.
The result of this subtraction is:

or just:

Now divide both sides by 4 so that you just have x on the left side:

After this division the left side is just x and the right side is 4. The answer is that the
missing number is 4.
Check: Does 29 = 13+(4*4). It does because 13 + 4*4 = 13 + 16 = 29.
Hope this helps you see your way through this problem.
