one third of the number = x/3

now,

according to the question,

2x/3 - x/3 = 3

the number = ?

=> 2x/3 - x/3 = 3

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

=> x/3 = 3

Let the number be x.

(2x/3) = (x/3)+3, or

(2x/3) = (x/3)+(9/3), or

2x-x = 9, or

x = 9.

Check: (2/3) of 9 is 6 which is (1/3)*9+3 = 6. Correct.

The number is 9.
