Let's call the number you thought of n. Then what the two steps you took can be written as an equation:
n+4\frac{5}{7}=12n

Subtract n to get all of your variables to one side:
4\frac{5}{7}=11n

At this point, I recommend turning your mixed number into an improper fraction. It will make things easier later on:
\frac{33}{7}=11n

Now divide both sides by 11 to get the value of n:
\frac{3}{7}=n
