Let the number be x.
if you multiply me by 7,
[tex]x\times 7 = 7x[/tex]
subtract 2,
[tex]7x-2[/tex]
then divide by 6,
[tex]\dfrac{7x-2}{6}[/tex]
you get 9,
[tex]\dfrac{7x-2}{6} =9[/tex]
Solving the equation for x,
[tex]\dfrac{7x-2}{6} =9\\\\7x-2 = 9\times 6\\7x-2 = 54\\7x = 54+2\\7x = 56\\\\x = \dfrac{56}{7}\\\\x = 8[/tex]
Hence, the number is 8.
