Answer:
76
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly I called the original number 'y'
Then i formulated an equation by adding in the processes mentioned in the question: (y + 14) x 2/3 = 60
Then i solved the equation
First I multiplied (y + 14) by 2/3: (y + 14) x 2/3 = (2/3 x y) + (14 x 2/3) = 2y/3 + 28/3
I simplified that to 2y + 28/3 = 60 since you can add fractions which have the same denominator
Then to get rid of the fraction i multiplied both sides by 3 to get 2y + 28 = 180
Then i took away 28 from both sides to get 2y = 152
Then i divided both sides by 2 to get 'y'(the original number) on its on: y = 76
