The quotient of a number and 2 is the same as the difference of the number doubled and 3. What is the number?

2

-2

-4

im not in middle school btw

Let us assume the number be x.

The quotient of a number and 2 can be expressed as : x/2.

The difference of the number doubled and 3 can be expressed as : 2x - 3.

The quotient of a number and 2 is the same as the difference of the number doubled and 3.

Therefore,

x/2 = 2x-3.

On cross multiplication, we get

x = 2 (2x-3).

x = 4x - 6

Subtracting 4x from both sides, we get

x-4x = 4x-4x - 6

-3x = - 6.

Dividing both sides by - 3, we get

-3x/-3 = - 6/-3.

x = 2.

Therefore, unknown number is 2.
