C#

DateTime dt = new DateTime();
           dt = DateTime.Now;
           DateTime newdt = new DateTime();
           TimeSpan tim = new TimeSpan(-X, 0, 0, 0, 0);//hours Timespan(0,-X,0,0,0)
           newdt = dt.Add(tim);
           MessageBox.Show(newdt.ToString());

x = your number(+x means future date, -X means past datetime)
hope this help full.

Timespan(-x,0,0,0,0) will specify date and time of past
but just noew i read carefully your requirment hours right??
so just tri this Timespan(0,-X,0,0,0)
