Answer:

The number is
(23)/(3)

Explanation:

I am going to call the number x.

A number that adds with 2/3 subtract will 1/3 will be 8.

As an equation, this is:


x + (2)/(3) - (1)/(3) = 8

Now we solve the equation to find x. So


x + (2-1)/(3) = 8


x + (1)/(3) = 8


x = 8 - (1)/(3)


x = (24)/(3) - (1)/(3)


x = (24-1)/(3)


x = (23)/(3)

The number is
(23)/(3)
