Question

2 by 3 if a number is 20 less than the original number.find the original number

Answer 1

Let the required number is x,

According to the question,

2/3 of x = x - 20

2/3 × x = x - 20

2x/3 = x - 20

(2x/3) - x = -20

(2x - 3x) /3 = -20

-x = -20 × 3

-x = -60

x = 60



60 is the required number




I hope this will help you
