Answer 1

Given:

The number is 10 times increased by five the result is 12 less than 9 times of number

Find-:

The number

Explanation-:

Let the number = x

The number is 10 times

$10x$

Increased by 5 units then number is:

$10x+5$

Then result increased by 9 times less then 12

So,

$10x+5=9x-12$

So, the number is:

$\begin{gathered} 10x+5=9x-12 \\ \\ 10x-9x=-12-5 \\ \\ x=-17 \end{gathered}$

The number is -17.
