Plssss it’s urgent

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Answer:

Question :-

2^3 of the number is 40 less than the number. What is the number?

Answer :-

Let the required number = x

According to the condition in the question, we get

x - (2x)/3 = 20

→ 3x - 2x = 20 × 3 = 60

→ x = 60

∴ the number is 60.
