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
