Help with algebra!!! Agghh

"four times a number is 6 more than the number, what is the number??" please help! 10 points!

2 multiply 4 is 8 which is 6 more than 2

4x=x+6

Since x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting x from both sides.
4x-x=6

Since 4x and -x are like terms, add -x to 4x to get 3x.
3x=6

Divide each term in the equation by 3.
(3x)/(3)=(6)/(3)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
x=(6)/(3)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
x=2
so 8=8

4x=x+6

Could you write what the problem actually is as in the equation?
