<PRE><B>Question 1049239</B>
1/4 of a certain number is added to 4 1/3. The sum is same as when 1/3 of it is added to 20 2/3. Find the number. 
--------
Equation:
(1/4)x + 4 1/3 = (1/3)x + 20 2/3
--------
Subtract (1/4)x from both sides to get::
13/3 = [1/3 - 1/4]x + 62/3
-------
[(4-3)/12]x = -49/3
------
(1/12)x = -49/3
x = -588/3
----
x = -196
----------------
