Question

One third of a number is for 4 less than two third of a number the number is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Given

(2x/3) - 4 = 2x.

Hence 2x -12 = 2x*3

6x - 2x = -12, 4x = -12, therefore x = -3.

Verify

two-thirds of x (2/3) * ( -3) = -2

four less than two-thirds of x = -2–4 = -6

is twice the x i.e (2 * -3) = -6
