Question

three more than two-thirds of a number equals 15 less than the number. find the number. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no be x

2/3x+3=x-15

2/3x-x= -15-3

2x-3x/3=-18

-x/3=-18

since minus sign is there on both the sides we cancel it

x=18*3

x= 54

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x

therefore,

3+2/3 of x = x-15

= 2/3x -x = -15-3

=2x - 3x/3 = 18

= - x/3 = -18

= x = 54
