The number is $12$ $color(red)(12)$

Explanation:

Let the number be represented by the variable $n$ $color(blue)n$

We are told
$XXX \frac{n}{6} + 5 = 7$ $color(white)("XXX")color(blue)n/6+5=7$

Subtracting $5$ $5$ from both sides gives
$XXX \frac{n}{6} = 2$ $color(white)("XXX")color(blue)(n)/6=2$

Then multiplying both sides by $6$ $6$
$XXX n = 12$ $color(white)("XXX")color(blue)n=12$

I got $12$ $12$

Explanation:

I interpreted the question as:

$\frac{x}{6} + 5 = 7$ $x/6+5=7$

where $x$ $x$ is our unknown number.

Solving for $x$ $x$ :

$\frac{x}{6} = 7 - 5$ $x/6=7-5$

$x = 6 \cdot 2 = 12$ $x=6*2=12$

$210$ $210$

Explanation:

If you meant a number dividing by $6$ $6$ then $5$ $5$ then the answer is $210$ $210$ . If you don't mean that, I'm very sorry.
Let "the sum of a number" be $x$ $x$ .
$x$ $x$ divided by $6$ $6$ then divided by $5 = 7$ $5 = 7$
Now, let's work backwards.
Let $y$ $y$ be the unknown.
$x$ $x$ divided by $6$ $6$ is $y$ $y$ . $y$ $y$ divided by $5$ $5$ is $7$ $7$
To find $y$ $y$ , we take $7 \cdot 5 = 35$ $7*5=35$ .
Then, to find $x$ $x$ , we take $y \cdot 6$ $y*6$ .
$y$ $y$ is $35$ $35$ .
$35 \cdot 6 = 210$ $35*6=210$
