.

Answer provided by our tutors

The problem statement is ambiguous... let 'n' represent a number... we will assume that the number is multiplied by 7 and then 4 is added:

7n+4=6

click here to solve for n

n=2/7

So a number 2/7 multiplied by 7 could be added to 4 in order to obtain 6.  If an integer solution is expected then some other interpretation would be required.
