Answer:
The number is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 3 times a number decreased by 2 is 4.
We have to find out what is that number.
So for finding that number we have to assume that number to be x.
Therefore, let than number to x
According to given situation, the number is 3 times. that means it is multiplied with 3 and it is decreased by 2 that means it is subtract by 2.
That is,
3(x)-2
And now given that this equation is equal to 4
Therefore, 3(x)-2=4
On solving this equation we get,
3x-2=4
3x=4+2
3x=6
x= 6/3
x=2
Hence the number is 2.
