Hey Buddy
Here's The Answer
-----------------------------------
=> Let support that number be ( x )
A.T.Q
=> multiply a certain number by 28,add 14 to the product,divide the sum by 13 and subtract 4
Equation will be
=>{ [ (28 . x) + 14 ] / 13 } - 4 = 2 x
=> (28x + 14 - 4(13 ))/13 = 2x
BY TAKING LCM
=>( 28x + 14 - 52 )/13 = 2x
=> 28x - 38 = 2x ( 13 )
=> 28x - 38 = 26x
=> 28x - 26x = 38
=> 2x = 38
=> x = 19
Hence the number was 19
Hope Helped
PEACE :)

ATQ
(28x + 14 ) /13 - 4 = 2x
28x + 14 - 52 = 13* 2x
28x - 38 = 26 x
28x - 26x = 38
2x = 38
x = 19
