$\large\bold\green{☑Verified Answer:-}$

If the number is taken to be 'x'

Then four times of the number is '4x'

When it is reduced by 5 it equals to 19

$4x - 5 = 19 \\ 4x = 19 + 5 \: \: \: (transposing \: - 5 \: to \: RHS) \\ 4x = 24 \\ x = \frac{24}{4} (transposing \: 4 \: to \: RHS) \\ x = 6$

Hence, the required number is 6.

Check:-

4 times of 6 is 24 and 24-5 = 19.
