Let, the required number be x.
According to the question,
x - (-6) = -12
=> x + 6 = -12
=> x = -12-6
=> x = -18
So, the required number is -18.
Solution :
Let,
the number is x
if we subtracted from it -6 : x - 6
difference will be -12 : x - 6 = -12
So, the equation is
x - 6 = -12
x = -12 + 6
x = -6
So, the number is (-6).
Verification :
(-6) - 6 = -12
