Respuesta :

3 + x/2 = 7
x = (7-3)*2 = 8 = the number

Answer:

The required number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

Now, it is given that, 3 plus quotient of a number and 2 is 7, then

[tex]3 + \frac{x}{2}=7[/tex]

Subtracting '3' from both sides of the above equation, we get

[tex]3 + \frac{x}{2}-3=7-3[/tex]

[tex]\implies\frac{x}{2} =4[/tex]

Now, multiplying both sides by '2' in the above obtained equation, we get

[tex]\frac{x}{2}\times2 = 4\times2[/tex]

[tex]\implies x = 8[/tex]

So, the required number is 8.
