  • The number = 2.

Given :–

  • Subtract 5 from 6 times a number = 7.

To Find :–

  • The number.

Solution :–

Let,

The number be x.

According to the question,

Subtract 5 from 6 times of a number.

I.e.,

\mapsto x \times 6 - 5

\mapsto  6x - 5

By subtracting this we get, 7.

So,

\mapsto 6x - 5 = 7

Now, solve this.

\mapsto 6x = 7 + 5

\mapsto 6x = 12

\mapsto x =   \cancel\dfrac{12}{6}

\mapsto  x = 2

Hence,

The number is 2.

Verification :–

Substitute the value of x in equation (1),

So,

\mapsto 6x - 5 = 7

\mapsto  6(2)  - 5= 7

\mapsto  6 \times 2 - 5 = 7

\mapsto  12 - 5 = 7

 \mapsto 7 = 7

Hence Verified !!
