Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explaination

   let the unknown number be x

    given that x(2/3)=x-20

                    2x/3=x-20

                    2x = (x-20)3

                     2x=3x-60 =  2x-3x= -60

                    3x-2x=60

                          x=60

     the original number is 60
