Question

A
Number
is 20
greater
than
the Sum of its
one third and
One- ninth. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3 + x/9 = 4x/9

given that

x = 4x/9 +20, we have

9x-4x = 9*20

5x = 180

  x = 180 / 5

     = 36.

so,  x = 36

===========

VERIFY

36/3+36/9 = 16

16+20 = 36

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the unknown number be x

then

20 + $\frac{x}{3} +\frac{x}{9}$ = x

(1+1/3+1/9)x = 20

x = $\frac{20}{9-3-1/9 }$

x = 180/5

x = 36

Verification:-

1/3 of 36

= 1/3 x 36

= 12

1/9 of 36

= 1/9x36

= 4

12+4 = 16

16+20 = 36

Hope this helps you
