answer: 13/2 or 6 1/2

Explanation:

hihi so basically your problem is making a solvable equation so w variables and stuff

heres my explanation !

the difference of a number and 2 is b-2

twice the difference of a number and 2 would be 2(b-2)

number 9 = 9 (duh lol)
so

2(b-2) = 9

2b - 4 = 9

2b = 13

improper: b = 13/2
mixed: b = 6 1/2
