Four more than two thirds of a number is 22. Find the number
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 + (\(\frac{2}{3}\) n) = 22
Now, we solve.
4 + (\(\frac{2}{3}\) n) = 22
4 + (\(\frac{2}{3}\) n) - 4 = 22 - 4
(\(\frac{2}{3}\) n) = 18
(\(\frac{2}{3}\) n) / (\(\frac{2}{3}\)) = 18 / (\(\frac{2}{3}\))
n = 18 (\(\frac{3}{2}\))
n = 27
Hope this helps! :)
Let number= X
2/3X +4 =22
2/3X= 22-4= 18
2/3X=18
X= (18*3)/2
X = 27
