Answer:

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.
