The correct equation based on the statement "The quotient of 12 and a number is 2" is:
\[ \frac{12}{x} = 2 \]
To solve for \( x \):
1. Multiply both sides by \( x \):
\[ 12 = 2x \]
2. Divide both sides by 2:
\[ x = \frac{12}{2} \]
\[ x = 6 \]
So, the number \( x \) is 6. The other equations you provided are not correct based on the initial statement.
