8, it's double is 16 and it's quarter is 2, so 16-2=14.

Let the number be x.

ATP,

=> 2x-x/4 = 14

=> 8x-x/4 = 14

=> 7x = 56

=> x = 8

The number is 8.

Lets verify:

2*8 = 16

8/4 = 2

16 exceeds 2 by 14.

This proves that our answer is correct.
=> The number is 8.

Not exactly sure how 2x-x/4 = 14 turned into 8x-x/4 = 14.

[CelioAmaral]

2x - x/4 = 14
=> Least common multiple(MMC) = 4

8x - x = 56
7x = 56
x=8

To disregard 8x-x/4 = 14 ; D
