Mathematics
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

x= \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Given

\frac{1}{6}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}x

Required

Find x

\frac{1}{6}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}x

Collect Like Terms

\frac{1}{6}x -  \frac{2}{3}x = - \frac{1}{3}

Take LCM

\frac{1 - 4}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3}

\frac{- 3}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3}

Multiply both sides by 6

6 * \frac{- 3}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3} * 6

-3x= -2

Divide both sides by -3

\frac{-3x}{-3}= \frac{-2}{-3}

x= \frac{2}{3}

Hence, the number is \frac{2}{3}
