Suppose the number is x
Then number diminished by 5 is (x-5)
Six times the number diminished by 5 is 6*(x-5)
So 6*(x-5) = 72
Divide both sides by 6: (x-5) = 12
Add 5 to both sides: x = 17

You roll it many times. The probability that it lands on a six is the number of times that it lands on a six divided by the number of times the die has been rolled.
If: 4x-6 = 6x then x = -3
The number is -13.
