Answer:
The given such number = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the given number = m
The quotient of the number m and 2 = [tex]\frac{m}{2}[/tex]
The difference of the number doubled and 3 = 2 (number) - 3 = 2 m - 3
Now, according to the question:
Quotient of number and 2 = Difference of the number doubled and 3
[tex]\implies \frac{m}{2} = 2m -3\\or, m = 2 (2m -3) = 4 m - 6\\\implies 4m - m = 6\\or, 3 m = 6\\\implies m = \frac{6}{3} = 2[/tex]
or, m = 2
Hence the desired such number = 2
