the number is 9.......

Answer 2

Answer:

Required number = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

$Two\: thirds \: of \: the \:number \\= \frac{2x}{3}$

$One-third \: of \: the \: number = \frac{x}{3}$

According to the problem given,

$\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{x}{3}=3$

$\implies \frac{2x-x}{3}=3$

$\implies \frac{x}{3}=3$

$\implies x = 9$

Therefore,

Required number = 9
