Answer:

-84

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no which is to be divided be =x

Then,x/-7=12

So, x = 12x -7 = -84

hence

the no which is to be divided is = -84

Answer 2

In all such questions in which we need to find a number or a fraction, etc., always begin assuming the required answer in terms of some variable.

In this case taking one particle variable, like 'x' would be appropriate.

Hence, according to our assumption,

Required number = x

Now according to the question,

$\frac{x}{ - 7} = 12$

$x = 12 \times (- 7)$

$x = - 84$

Therefore, required number = x = - 84
