Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
If 4 less than 3 times a certain number is 2 more than the number
Let the number be x
First, three times of number is 3x
Then 4 less will be (3x - 4)
Two more than number is (x + 2)
Hence the algebraic equation will be
3x - 4 = x + 2
Now solving this equation
3x - 4 = x + 2
3x - x = 2 + 4
2x = 6
x = 6 / 2
x = 3
Thus the number is 3
