One-quarter of the difference of a number and 3 is 2. Find the number.
11
20
3 1/2
5/4
Let's denote the number as "x".
According to the given information, one-quarter of the difference of a number and 3 is 2. So, we can write the equation:
(1/4)(x - 3) = 2
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:
x - 3 = 8
Now, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x = 11
Therefore, the number is 11.
