Let's start by assuming the number is x.
The difference between the number and 3 is x - 3.
One-quarter of this difference is represented by (1/4)(x - 3).
According to the problem, this value is equal to 2:
(1/4)(x - 3) = 2
To solve for x, we need to isolate it. We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 to cancel out the fraction:
4 * (1/4)(x - 3) = 4 * 2
x - 3 = 8
Next, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x - 3 + 3 = 8 + 3
x = 11
Therefore, the number is 11.
one-quarter of the differece of a number and 3 is 2 find the number
