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.
