four times six times a number is same as 7 times the number.
Change the words "four times six" to 24.
Change the words "a number" and "the number" to x, and
Change the words "is the same as" to an equal sign:

24 times x = 7 times x.
Change "24 times x" to 24x
Change "7 times x" to 7x

24x = 7x
Subtract 7x from both sides:

17x = 0
Divide both sides by 17

x =
x = 0
