A number when added to a 2/3 is equal to 55 find the number

Answer»

Answer:

The number to be added is \frac{163}{3}.

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

LET the number added to \frac{2}{3} for the result to be 55 be x.

The equation is:

\frac{2}{3}+x=55

Solve for x as follows:

\frac{2}{3}+x=55\\x=55-\frac{2}{3}\\=\frac{165-2}{3}\\ =\frac{163}{3}

Thus, the number to be added is \frac{163}{3}.
