Question 15223
Thirteen more than two-thirds of a number is 17
More than means we are going to add 13,
{{{2/3}}} a number means {{{2/3}}}x,
so we have;
{{{2/3}}}x+13=17
Subtract 13 from both sides,
{{{2/3}}}x+13-13=17-13
{{{2/3}}}x=4
Divide both sides by the reciprocal of {{{2/3}}} which is {{{3/2}}};
{{{2/3}}}x({{{3/2}}})=4({{{3/2}}})
x={{{12/2}}}
x=6
Hope you get it
=)
