Answer:  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll call the number "x."

"Twice the difference of a number and 3" means 2(x-3)

is equal to 2:  =2

Put them together:

     2(x-3)  =2

 2x - 6 = 2

 2x = 8

   x = 4

Check:

2(x-3)

Twice the difference of a number and 3 is equal to 2

2(4 - 3) = 2   ?

<h2>2(1) = 2         <u>  Yes</u></h2>
