$\mathfrak{\underline{AnswEr:-}}$

• The required number = 33

$\mathfrak{\underline{Given:-}}$

• A number when added to its two-thirds is equal to 55.

$\mathfrak{\underline{Need\:To\: Find:-}}$

• The required number = ?

${\purple{\underline{\underline{\bf{\pink{Explanation:-}}}}}}$

Let the number be y.

$\boxed{\bf{\mid{\overline{\underline{\bigstar\: According\: to \: the \: Question :}}}}\mid}$

$\longrightarrow \sf {y + \dfrac{2y}{3} = 55}$

$\longrightarrow \sf {3y + \dfrac{2y}{3} = 55}$

$\longrightarrow \sf {\dfrac{5y}{3} = 55}$

$\longrightarrow \sf {5y = 55 \times 3}$

$\longrightarrow \sf {y = 55 \times \dfrac{3}{5} }$

$\longrightarrow \sf {y = 33}$

$\:\:\:\:\dag\bf{\underline{\underline \red{Hence:-}}}$

• The required number is 33.
