Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER

Let the original number be x.

According to the question we can write as (2/3)x+20x

On rearranging x−(2/3)x=20

Now taking the L.C.M od 1 and 3 is 3

(3x−2x)/3=20

x/3=20

Again by transposing x=60

So the original number is 60

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate! Here's your answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be a. According to the Question,

a/8 = a - 20

a/8 - a = -20

a/8 - 8a/8 = -20

-7a/8 = -20

-7a = -160

a = 160/7.

So the number is 160/7.
