Four thrids times the sum of a number 8 is 24. what is the numver

The number is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

four thirds times = 4/3

According to the statement:

four thrids times the sum of a number and 8 is 24

4/3 * (x+8) = 24

Move 3 to the R. H. S and Multiply 4 with the parenthesis.

4x+32=24*3

4x+32=72

Move constant to the R. H. S

4x=72-32

4x=40

Divide both the terms by 4

4x/4=40/4

x=10

Therefore the number is 10 ...
