Answer 1

hello your question's answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Assumption:-

Let the number be x

According to question:-

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

2x=3(x-20)

2x=3x-60

3x-2x=60

x=60

Hence,

The number=60

Verification by substituting x=60:-

$\frac{2(60)}{3} = 60 - 20$

$\frac{120}{3} = 40$

40=40

Since,LHS=RHS

Hence,

The number=60
