the number is - 1
let the number be n then 6 times the number is 6n and added to -4 is
- 4 + 6n = 10n ( equal to 10 times the number )
subtract 6n from both sides
- 4 = 4n ( divide both sides by 4 )
= n , hence n = - 1

Answer:
50 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the each ribbon was x.
Now, she cuts 9 pieces of same length L which means total length is 9L.
Now, doing the same she was left with 5 inches of ribbon. Hence, we have
[tex[9L+5=x.....(1)[/tex]
Similarly, we can write a equation for the second situation.
From equation 1 and 2,
Plugging this value in equation 1,
Therefore, the length of each ribbon when she bought them was 50 inches.
