let the number be x
1/4 of x is 10 less than 2/3 of x
x/4 +10 = 2x /3
2x/3-x/4= 10
8x-3x /12 = 10
5x/12 = 10
5x= 12×10
x= 12×10/5
x = 12× 2
x = 24
so the number is 24
1/4 of x is 10 less than 2/3 of x
x/4 +10 = 2x /3
2x/3-x/4= 10
8x-3x /12 = 10
5x/12 = 10
5x= 12×10
x= 12×10/5
x = 12× 2
x = 24
so the number is 24
