Bot GPT 3.5 Let's call the number "x".
The difference between a number (x) and 3 is x - 3.
One quarter of that difference is 1/4 * (x - 3).
According to the given information, this expression is equal to 2.
So we can set up the equation:
1/4 * (x - 3) = 2
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction:
4 * 1/4 * (x - 3) = 2 * 4
This simplifies to:
x - 3 = 8
Next, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x - 3 + 3 = 8 + 3
This simplifies to:
x = 11
Therefore, the number is 11.
