Question 585386
"any number +10 -1 = the  number" translates into {{{x+10-1=x}}}



{{{x+10-1=x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{x+9=x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=x-9}}} Subtract {{{9}}} from both sides.



{{{x-x=-9}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{0x=-9}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{0=-9}}} Simplify.



Since this equation is <font size=4><b>NEVER</b></font> true for any x value, this means that there are no solutions.
