The number is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number then according to given statement

[tex]4x+10 = x-17[/tex]

Subtracting 10 from both sides

[tex]4x+10-10 = x-17-10\\4x = x-27[/tex]

Subtracting x from both sides

[tex]4x-x = x-x-27\\3x = -27[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{-27}{3}\\ x = -9[/tex]

Verification:

[tex]4(-9)+10 = -9-17\\-36+10=-26\\-26=-26[/tex]

The number is -9
