Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number is x

2/3x-83=176

2/3x=176+83

2/3x=259

2x=259*3

2x=777

x=777/2

x=388.5

The number is 388.5

Answer:

The number is -139.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find,

The number such that when two third of the number is subtracted from 83, we get the result as 176

Solution:

Let 'x' be the number

Two third of the number = \frac{2}{3}x

When two third of the number is subtracted from 83, we get

83 -  \frac{2}{3}x

It is given that two-thirds of a number subtracted from 83 is 176, then we have

83 -  \frac{2}{3}x = 176

- \frac{2}{3}x = 176 - 83 = 93

\frac{2}{3}x = -93

Multiplying throughout by 3 we get

2x = -93×3 = -279

x = \frac{-279}{2} = -139.5

Hence the required number is -139.5
