Answer:
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....
