We have to express this phrase in mathematical terms.
We call the number x.
Then, four times a number is "4x".
Fourtenn more than 4x is "4x+14", and this is equal to 42.
Then, we can write:
[tex]4x+14=42[/tex]And solve as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+14=42 \\ 4x=42-14 \\ 4x=28 \\ x=\frac{28}{4} \\ x=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: the equation is 4x+14=42 and the solution is x=7
