12 less than a number is equal to the product of 7 and that number. Convert into an equation and find the number?

EQUATION: X - 12 = 7X. SOLUTION: X = - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we do not know the number. When the number is unknown, it is a variable. I chose the variable, "X."

12 less than signals that we subtract 12. So that would be X - 12.

A product of 7 AND that number means we multiply 7 by X. That can be notated as 7X.

12 less than X is EQUAL to the product of 7 and X. So X - 12 = 7X.

To find the solution, we want to know the value of X. Move X to one side of the equation.

X - 12 = 7X

-X           -X

-12     =   6X

Divide both sides by 6 to get X by itself.

X = - 2.
