Question

Four more than two thirds of a number is 22. Find the number

Answer 1

Let number= X
2/3X +4 =22
2/3X= 22-4= 18
2/3X=18
X= (18*3)/2
X = 27

Answer 2

We'll call the unknown number "n."

Four more than two thirds of a number is 22.
Four more than (two thirds of a number) is 22.
4 + (two thirds of a number) = 22
4 + (
`(2)/(3)` * n) = 22

Now, we solve.
4 + (
`(2)/(3)` * n) = 22
4 + (
`(2)/(3)` * n) - 4 = 22 - 4
(
`(2)/(3)` * n) = 18
(
`(2)/(3)` * n) / (
`(2)/(3)`) = 18 / (
`(2)/(3)`)
n = 18 * (
`(3)/(2)`)
n = 27

Hope this helps! :)
