Answer:

7 (x - 1) = 14

gives:   x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

According to Given conditions:

  • Difference of some number and 1 = x - 1
  • Seven times the difference of some number and 1 = 7 (x - 1)
  • Quotient of 168 and 12 = 168/12 = 14

According to given scenario:

7 (x - 1) = 14

Dividing both sides by 7

(x - 1) =2

Adding 1 on both sides:

x -1 +1 = 2 + 1

x = 3

I hope it will help you!
