To solve this problem, let's start by setting up the equation:
4 * (number - 7) = 12
Next, we can simplify the equation:
4 * number - 28 = 12
Now, let's isolate the variable "number" by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation:
4 * number = 12 + 28
4 * number = 40
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for the number:
number = 40 / 4
number = 10
Therefore, the number is 10.
