    The equation would be something like

    20 - 2/3x = 12

    so times it by 3 to get rid of the demoninator

    60 - 2x = 36

    rearrange

    -2x = 36 - 60

    solve

    -2x = - 24

    so

    x = 12

    The number is 12, if you split it into 3 parts you get 4 so 2/3 of it would be 8. then you just take 20 ans subtract 8 to get 12.
