Question

find the number such that when it is added to two third of itself the result is 70​

Answer 1

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be "x"

Then, according to question

x + 2x/3 = 70

(x × 3/3) + 2x/3 = 70

3x/3 + 2x/3 = 70

(3x + 2x)/3 = 70

5x/3 = 70

x = (3/5) × 70

x = 3 × 14

x = 42
