Will someone explain this to me? i'm not looking for an answer, just an explaination. the quotient of a number and 2 is the same as the difference of the number doubled and 3. what is the number?

2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n then

= 2n - 3 ( myltiply both sides by 2 )

n = 4n - 6 ( subtract 4n from both sides )

- 3n = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

n = 2

check

= 1 and (2 × 2 ) - 3 = 4 - 3 =1

-1/2 +2
