Answer:

the +ve no. = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x - 3

three more than a positive number = x

acc. to condition

x^{2}x

2

- 20 = x

x^{2} - x - 20 = 0x

2

−x−20=0

x^{2} - 5x + 4x - 20 = 0x

2

−5x+4x−20=0

x(x - 5) +4(x - 5) = 0x(x−5)+4(x−5)=0

(x+4)(x-5) = 0(x+4)(x−5)=0

Case 1

x + 4 = 0x+4=0

x = -4x=−4

the Number cannot be negative because the condition given in question

Case 2

x - 5 = 0x−5=0

x = 5x=5

Hence, the positive number

= x - 3=x−3

= 5 - 3=5−3

= 2=2 hope i help you
