A particular number was divided by 6 qnd then 5 was taken away from the quotient. Finally, the difference was mutiplird by 2. Given the product was - 12, what was the number?

N is the number

divided by 6 then n/6

5 was taken away so (n/6) - 5

the result is multiplied by 2 so 2 ((n/6) - 5)

result is - 12

-12=2 ((n/6) - 5)

divide both sides by 2

-6 = (n/6) - 5

add 5

-1=n/6

times 6

-6=n

da number was - 6
