To begin, we will break down the statement into manageable portions.

Step 1: Consider the first portion, "One-fourth more than a number".

This can be expressed mathematically as


x+(1)/(4)

Step 2: The last portion equates the first potion to "two-thirds", basically


=(2)/(3)

Thus, combining all the portions, the equation is


x+(1)/(4)=(2)/(3)
