    The number ... n

    one quarter of the number ... 1/4 of n = 1/4 * n

    one third of the number ... 1/3 of n = 1/3 * n

    one quarter of the number is subtracted from one third of the number ... 1/3 * n - 1/4 * n

    the result is 7 ... = 7

    We can put it together:

    1/3 * n - 1/4 * n = 7

    4/12 * n - 3/12 * n = 7

    1/12 * n = 7 / * 12

    n = 7 * 12

    n = 84

    The number you are looking for is 84.
