Ten more than 6 times a number is 4 less than 4 times a number
let number be x
Ten more than 6 times a number is:6x%2B10
is :=
4 less than 4 times a number:4x-4
put it all together:
6x%2B10=4x-4.....solve for x

6x-4x=-4-10
2x=-14
x=-14%2F2
x=-7-> your number
check:
6x%2B10=4x-4
6%28-7%29%2B10=4%28-7%29-4
-42%2B10=-28-4
-32=-32
