I got $1$ but I am not sure I interpreted the question right...!

Call your number $n$ we get:

$(n+6)18=126$

$n+6=126/18=7$

$n=7-6=1$

$x=12$

If $6$ is added $19$ times means $6*19$

which is then added to a number ( $x$ ) , resulting in the number $126$

$=> 6*19+x=126$

$:. x = 12$

$12$

Let the number be $x$

$:.(19xx6)+x=126$

$:.114+x=126$

$:.x=126-114$

$:.x=12$
