Step-by-step explanation:
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

Let the number=x
2/3of x-20=x
2/3x-20=x
2/3x-x=20
2x-x=20×(-3)
x=-60
