The number is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

n=number.

2/3n+1/6n=25

Make a common denominator for 2/3 and 1/6 and then combine like terms.

4/6n+1/6n=25

5/6n=25

divide 5/6 on both sides to isolate n.

n=25/(5/6)

oreja.

n=25/1/5/6

nu(25×6)/(5×1)

n=150/5

n=30

OR

multiply the reciprocal instead of dividing.

n=25×(6/5)

n=150/5

n=30
