See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, let's call the number we are looking for or "What number": #n#.

The term "is" means "equal to" or "=" so we can write:

#n = #

"four times larger than" means to "multiply by 4" so we can write:

#n = 4 xx#

And it is fours times larger than "6" so we can write and solve:

#n = 4 xx 6#

#n = 24#

#color(red)(24)# is four times larger than 6.
