Question

If a number is 10 more than two-thirds of the same number, then find the number.​

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

Hello!

Let the unknown number be x.

Converting from English to Algebra, we are given the equation:

• 
  `x = 10 + \frac23x`

Solve for x by isolating the variable.

Solve for x

• 
  `x = 10 + \frac23x` Multiply everything by 3 to remove the fraction
• 
  `3x = 30 + 2x` Subtract 2x from both sides
• 
  `x = 30`

The value of that number is 30.
