Answer: The required number is 2.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the quotient of a number and 2 is the same as the difference of the number doubled and 3.
We are to find the number.
Let x denotes the required number.
Then, according to the given information, we have
\(\dfrac{x}{2}=2x-3\\\\\Rightarrow x=2(2x-3)\\\\\Rightarrow x=4x-6\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-x=6\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=6\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{6}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.\)
Thus, the required number is 2.
