Answer: 21

==============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the unknown number

x/3 = one third of the number

(x/3)+3 = added 3 to the previous result

(x/3)+3 = 10

x/3 = 10-3

x/3 = 7

x = 3*7

x = 21

------------

original number = 21

one third of it = 21/3 = 7

add on 3 to the previous result = 7+3 = 10

This confirms the answer.
