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 = x
When two third of the number is subtracted from 83, we get
83 - x
It is given that two-thirds of a number subtracted from 83 is 176, then we have
83 - x = 176
- x = 176 - 83 = 93
x = -93
Multiplying throughout by 3 we get
2x = -93×3 = -279
x = = -139.5
Hence the required number is -139.5
