Let's set up the equation:
5(x + 9) = 10
Now we can solve for x:
5x + 45 = 10
Subtract 45 from both sides:
5x = -35
Divide by 5:
x = -7
Therefore, the number is -7.
5(x + 9) = 10
Now we can solve for x:
5x + 45 = 10
Subtract 45 from both sides:
5x = -35
Divide by 5:
x = -7
Therefore, the number is -7.
