Answer:

Let the required number be x

The quotient of a number and -7, decreased by 2, is 10

According to the above problem, we get

[tex] \frac{x}{( -7)} - 2 = 10 \\ \frac{x}{( - 7)} = 10 + 2 \\ \frac{x}{( - 7)} = 12 \\ x = ( - 7) \times 12 \\ \boxed{x = - 84}[/tex]

Therefore, the required number is -84.

  • -84 is the right answer.
