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.
