Respuesta :
Let x be the number.
Set up an equation:
2x - 2/3x = 20
Simplify:
1 1/3x = 20
Divide both sides by 1 1/3
X = 15
The number is 15
Answer: 60
Step by Step Explanation:
Let the number be x
So, x-2/3x=20
=> x/1 - 2/3x = 20
=> (3x - 2x)/3 = 20
=> x/3 = 20
=> x= 20*3
=> x=60
Checking if the solution is correct:
So substitute the value of x in x-2/3x=20
As we know x=60
So, => 60 - 2/3*60 = 20
=> 60 - 40 = 20
As 20 = 20
So this answer is correct
