Question

What number gives a result of -7 when 12 is subtracted from the quotient of the number and 6?​

Answer 1

`30`

Step-by-step explanation

Let the number be x.

The quotient of the number and 6 is

`(x)/(6)`

If 12 is subtracted and the result is -7, then

`(x)/(6) - 12 = - 7`

`(x)/(6) = - 7 + 12`

`(x)/(6) = 5`

`x = 5 * 6`

`x = 30`

The number is 30.
