    17

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the unknown number be n. Then,

    "50 subtracted from four times a number is 1 more than the number"

    translates into the equation 4n - 50 = n + 1.

    Solve this by subtracting n from both sides: 3n - 50 = 1,

    continuing by adding 50 to both sides: 3n = 51.

    Dividing both sides by 3 yields n = 17.

    The number is 17.
