$\huge\bold{Question:-}$

• Two-thirds of a number is greater than one-third of the number by 5
• What is the number

$\huge\bold{Solution:-}$

Let the number be x

Given,

$\frac{2}{3} \times x = ( \frac{1}{3} \times x) + 5$

On Solving

$\frac{2x}{3} = \frac{x}{3} + 5$

$\frac{2x}{3} = \frac{x + 15}{3}$

$2x = x + 15$

$2x - x = 15$

$x = 15$

$\huge\bold{Verification:-}$

$\frac{2}{3} \times 15 = (\frac{1}{3} \times 15) + 5$

$2 \times 5 = 5 + 5$

$10 = 10$
