Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number. "The quotient of a number and 4" is represented by (n/4). To represent decreasing that value by 10, we write ...
(n/4) -10
We are told this "is two":
(n/4) -10 = 2
n/4 = 12 . . . . . . . add 10
n = 48 . . . . . . . . multiply by 4
The number is 48.
