Let the certain number be N.

Working on "10 be added to four times a certain number"

10 + 4N

Then "the result is 5 less than five times the number"

= 5N - 5

Solve

10 + 4N = 5N - 5

10 + 5 = 5N - 4N

N = 15

Therefore the number is 15.

here you go: plain and simple;

If you use x for the number

add 10 to 4 times the number

10 + 4x

if the result is 5 less than 5 times the number this becomes

10+ 4x= 5x - 5

if you solve it

you get 15=x

there fore the number is 15

The answer is 15 (and I did that in my head :). If the number is x, you know that 10 + 4x = 5x - 5. Add 5 to and subtract 4x from both sides, and you get x = 15.

Suppose x is a certain number,If 10 be added to four times a certain number x ,then it can be written as ,
4x+10. ..................................(1)
the result is 5 less then five times the number=5x-5. ...........(2)
now., equalise eq. 1 and eq. 2,we get
4x+10=5x-5
4x-5x = -5-10
-x= -15
now multiplying minus sign to both sides,
then,
x=15

4x+10=5x-5=>x=15

(n * 4 )+ 10 = (n * 5) - 5 = X
n = 15
X = 70

(15 * 4) +10 = (15 * 5) - 5 = 70

15.

4x + 10 = 5x - 5
10 + 5 = 5x - 4x
15 = 1x
x = 15

4x + 10 = 5x - 5
-x = -15
x = 15

ANS : 15
