Two- thirds of a number added to itself is 20. what is the number?

Equation

Let the number = x

(2/3)x + x = 20                   Change the x to thirds.

(2/3)x + 3/3x = 20              3/3 = 1 Now  combine the like terms.

(2 + 3)/3 = 20                     2/3 + 3/3 = 5/3  

(5/3) x = 20                        Multiply both sides by 3/5

(5/3)*(3/5)x = 20*3/5        Complete the multiplication on the right

x = 4 * 3                            Combine

x = 12                                 Answer

hi,

6x times 4 is 24x and 5 times 4 is 20, so the answer is 24x+20.

hope this and for a little humor i am groot.

step-by-step explanation:

u divide 24 by 3 and u get 8 so if u do 8 time 7 or 8+8+8+8+8+8+8 u get 56 and 56 divided by 7 is 8.
