Mathematics: When four times a certain number is subtracted by 23, the answer is -5. what is the number?

Since this is a parallelogram, both bases are equal. You can set them equal to each other to find x:

6+3x=x+14

Subtract x from both sides.

6+2x=14

Subtract 6 from both sides.

2x=8

Divide by 2.

x=4
