Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown number be x
it means 46089-X should give you the number 3479, since the question could be interpreted as "by how much should you reduce 46089 to get 3479
As a result, 46089 - X = 3479
collecting like terms, X = 46089 - 3479
hence, X = 42610
therefore, the number is 42610
