5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no be a

Acc to question ...6a+4a=50

10a=50

a=5

Answer 2

Answer:-

$\bigstar$ Value of number is 5.

SOLUTION

Let us Assume that the number is 'x' .

Given that :-  6 times a certain number is added to 4 times the number, then the resulting number is 10 less than 60.

Since, we assumed that number to be , 'x'.

By applying the conditions given in the question , we will obtain a simple Linear Equation in one variable.

$\implies$

6x + 4x = 60 -10

$\implies$ 10x = 50

$\sf x = \dfrac{50}{10}$

$\red\bigstar \boxed{\boxed {\sf x = 5 }}$

Verification

Let us verify by putting the value , x = 5 in 6x + 4x = 60 -10

6 × 5 + 4 × 5 = 60 - 10

30 + 20 = 50

50 = 50

Since, the LHS = RHS, verified that our answer is correct.
