There is a number if you multiply it by 6 first, and then subtract 7 from the result, you get 65. what's the number?

Question

I've been stuck on this question for a while can someone help me thanks :)

Answer 1

1. Let $x$ equal your unknown number.
2. Apply the operations you are given in order: $$6x - 7 = 65$$
3. Solve for $x$ and you get your number: $$6x = 65 + 7$$ $$ 6x = 72$$ $$ x = 72/6$$ $$ x= 12$$

Answer 2

$$\begin{array}{ll} \text{There is a number}&n\\ \text{if you multiply it by 6 first}&6n\\ \text{and then subtract 7 from the result}&6n-7\\ \text{you get 65}&6n-7=65 \end{array}$$

Can you take it from here?
