The number is added to 4.

And the value is equal to 9 when it is 7 times the sum of the number, b and 4.

Thus according to the question, the sentence can be translated in equation form as :

7 ( b + 4 ) = 9

Thus in other word, we can say that the addition of (b + 4) when it is multiplied for 7 times, we get the result as 9.
