A number when added to its two third is equal to 55 find the number

Answer 1

Answer :

The required number is 33.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the required number be x.

Then, it's two third = 2 / 3 of x.

According to the question ;

x + 2 / 3 of x = 55

⇒ x + 2 / 3 x = 55

⇒ 3x + 2x / 3 = 55

⇒ 5x / 3 = 55

⇒ 5x = 55 × 3

⇒ 5x = 165

⇒ x = 165 / 5

⇒ x = 33

Therefore, the required number is 33.

Verification :

Putting the value of x in the given equation ;

x + 2 / 3 of x = 55

⇒ 33 + 2 / 3 × 33  = 55

⇒ 33 + 2 × 11 = 55

⇒ 33 + 22 = 55

⇒ 55 = 55

∴ LHS = RHS

Hence, the required answer is 33.

Answer 2

हल-

माना दी गई संख्या x है

तब: इसका दो, तीन = 2/3 * x

प्रश्नानुसार -

$x + ( \frac{2}{3} )x = 55 \\ \\ \frac{3x + 2x}{3} = 55 \\ \\ 5x = 3 \times 55 \\ \\ x = \frac{165}{5} \\ \\ x = 33$
