ANSWER

[tex]30[/tex]

EXPLANATION

Let the number be x.

The quotient of the number and 6 is

[tex] \frac{x}{6} [/tex]

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

[tex] \frac{x}{6} - 12 = - 7[/tex]

[tex] \frac{x}{6} = - 7 + 12[/tex]

[tex] \frac{x}{6} = 5[/tex]

[tex]x = 5 \times 6[/tex]

[tex]x = 30[/tex]

The number is 30.
