Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
According to first part of question, 'a number is multiplied by m'. Let us assume the number be x. x multiplied by m gives 'xm'.
The next part of question says, 'then m is subtracted from the product' means we now have 'xm - m'. The third part says that 'the result is m' means,
xm - m = m.
The question now asks 'What is the number?' i.e., the value of x is asked.
Solving xm - m = m gives us,
xm - m = m
xm = m + m
xm = 2m.
dividing by m on both sides,
x = 2.
Hence the number is 2.
