Answer:
x = 6
Explanation:
Let the unknown number be x
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
[tex] \frac {2x}{3} + 10 = 14[/tex]
[tex] \frac {2x}{3} = 14 - 10 [/tex]
[tex] \frac {2x}{3} = 4 [/tex]
Cross-multiplying, we have;
[tex] 2x = 12[/tex]
[tex] x = \frac {12}{2}[/tex]
x = 6
