Let the unknown number be x:
x/4-10 = 2x/3
Multiply all terms by 4 to eradicate the 4 denominator:
x-40 = 8x/3
Multiply all terms by 3 to eradicate the 3 denominator:
3x-120 = 8x
Collect like terms noticing the changes with the - and + signs:
3x-8x = 120
-5x = 120
Divide both sides of the equation by -5 to find the value of x:
x = -24
Substituting the value of x into the original equation gives you: -16 = -16
