Answer:
If we let y represent the missing number, then we can represent "four times the number" as 4y and "21 more than the number" as 21 + y
Since these two quantities are equal to each other, we can write:
4y = 21 + y
To solve for y, we can subtract y from both sides of the equation:
4y - y = 21 + y - y
The result would be 3y = 21
Then we would divide both sides of the equation by 3:
3y/3 = 21/3
The final solution is:
y=7
To check: 4 * 7 is indeed equal to 7 + 21
