The number is 4. 15-6=8 divide that by 2 and you are left with 4

First, write an equation:

$2x+6=14$

We want to get x by itself, so next we should subtract 6 from both sides and get

$2x=8$

Finally, divide both sides by 2 and get

$x=4$

The number is 4

When you divide two fractions, you're actually multiplying one of them by the reciprocal of the other. First, find the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping it upside down. Then, multiply it by the first fraction. (Numerator x numerator and denominator x denominator)

$\frac{-7}{12}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{3}$ Replace the second fraction with it's reciprocal
$\frac{-7}{12}$ x $\frac{3}{2}$ Multiply (-7 x 3 and 12 x 2)
$\frac{-21}{24}$ Both 21 and 24 are divisible by three, so divide them by 3
$\frac{-7}{8}$
