Let X be the original number.
Subtract that number from 1 ---> 1 - X
Multiply this result by 4: ---> 4(1 - X)
Add half the difference when 6 is subtracted from 10 times the original number:
---> 4(1 - X) + ½(10X - 6)
Final result: ---> 4 - 4X + 5X - 3 = X + 1
a) Let X = 3: ---> X + 1 = 4
b) To find the original number from the answer: Subtract 1.
