Question

2/3 of a number is less than the original number by 20. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let,the number is x.

by problem,2/3(x)=x-20

2x=3x-60

x=60

therefore, the number is 60

Answer 2

Let that no. be $\huge\red{x}$

Therefore,

$\frac{2}{3} x = x - 20$

$2x = 3(x - 20)$

$2x = 3x - 60$

$60 = 3x - 2x$

$60 = x$

Therefore, the number = 60
