Answer:

number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n then the quotient of the number and 2 is [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] , so

[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] - 4 = 5 ( add 4 to both sides )

[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] = 9 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

n = 2 × 9 = 18

The number is 18
