The problem says:
"The sum of a number and seven is divided by four.The result is 19 more then the number. Find the number."
How would I set that up? I am not asking what the answer is, I just want to know how I would set that up on my paper.

(x+7)/4=x+19
x+7=4x+76
3x=-69
x=-23

You can usually write your equation by following the sentences you're given. "The sum of a number and seven" gets put in parentheses because the whole thing is divided by 4.
(x+7)/4 = 19 + x
Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction.
x + 7 = 76 + 4x
I'm sure you can take it from there.

let the no be X
X + 7 /4 = X +19
X+7 = 4(x +19).
x+7 = 4x +76
4x -x = -76 +7
3x = -69
x= -69/3
x= -23

(x + 7)/4 = 19+ x that should be the equation

(x+7)/4 = 19 multiply both sides by 4
(x+7) = 76 subtract 7 from both sides
x = 69

x+7/4 = x+19
just write it the way it is written in words. say your written words as you read what i wrote.
once you do many of these it will come easier.
math mostly just memorize how to formulas not as hard as it seems..

Let the number be x
Given (x + 7)/4=19 + x
Hence x = -23 (Verify please)
