Answer:

The number is 2

Explanation:

Let the number be n

Multiply the number by 6 = 6n

Subtract 5 from the number , 6n - 5

And we get 7

So , the expression : 6n - 5 = 7

6n = 7 + 5

6n = 12

n = 2

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Let the number be x

When we multiply a number by 6 and subtract it by 5, we would get 7.

On multiplication of number x with 6 it will be 6x.12

On subtraction of 5 it will be 6x - 5

6x - 5 = 7

6x = 7 + 5

6x = 12

x = 12/6

x = 2
