When six times a number is decreased by 5 the result is 19 What is the number?

Let's denote the number as x. The equation formed can be written as 6x - 5 = 19. To solve for x, we first add 5 to both sides to get 6x = 24. Then, we divide by 6 on both sides to find x = 4. Therefore, the number is 4.
