Four more than 6 times a number

is the same as 9 times the number

increased by 10. Find the number.

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose,

the number is x

so,

Four more than 6 times a number = 6. x+4=6x+4

9 times the number increased by 10 = 9x+10

Now,

6x+4 = 9x+10

⇒9x-6x=4-10

⇒3x=-6

⇒x = - 6/3 [divide both sides by 3 ]

⇒x = - 2
