Let's denote the number as x. The statement "double a number is 3 more than a number" can be mathematically represented as 2x = x + 3. By solving this equation, we find that x = 3. Therefore, the number in question is 3.

Assuming that the question is double a number is 3 more than THE number, let the original number be x then double the number (= 2x) is 3 more than the number (= x+3) So solve 2x = x + 3 Take x away from each side: x = 3
