Answer:

The number is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Four times a number plus five times the number is the same as ten more than eight  times the number.

Let,

x represent the number.

According to given statement,

4 times the number + 5 times the number = 10 + eight times the number

4x+5x=10+8x

Solving the equation,

9x=10+8x

Subtracting 8x from both sides

9x-8x=10+8x-8x

x=10

Hence,

The number is 10.
