Answer:

The number is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

[] First, let's turn all these words into something mathematical. N will equal "my number"

-><u> If you add 12 to my number</u> and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.

-> n + 12 <u>and then multiply the result by 3</u>, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.

-> 3(n + 12), you will get 64 more than <u>two-thirds of my number</u>.

-> 3(n + 12) = <u>64 more than</u> \frac{2n}{3}

-> 3(n + 12) = 64 +  \frac{2n}{3}

[] Phew, okay. Now it is something we can solve and less scary;

[Given]

3(n + 12) = 64 +  \frac{2n}{3}

[Distribute]

3n + 36 = 64 +  \frac{2n}{3}

[Multiply both sides by 3]

9n + 108 = 192 + 2n

[Subtract 108 and 2n from both sides]

7n = 84

[Divide both sides by 4]

n = 12

Have a nice day!
