Answer 1

so the number is 27...

Answer 2

Let the number be x.

Its successor is x + 1.

Given that one-third of a number is two more than one-fourth of its successor.

= > (1/3) of x = (x + 1)/4 + 2

$= > \frac{x}{3} = \frac{x + 1}{4} + 2$

LCM = 12.

= > 4x = 3(x + 1) + 24

= > 4x = 3x + 3 + 24

= > 4x - 3x = 27

= > x = 27.

Therefore, the number is 27.

Hope this helps!
