Answer:

The number would be 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for the number, we need to make both statements into numerical statements.

Fifteen more than four times a number = 15 + 4x

difference between 191 and four times the number = 191 - 4x

Now we set them equal to each other.

15 + 4x = 191 - 4x -----> Add 4x to each side

15 + 8x = 191 ------> Subtract 15 from both sides

8x = 176 -------> Divide by 8

x = 22
