I got #1# but I am not sure I interpreted the question right...!

Explanation:

Call your number #n# we get:

#(n+6)18=126#

#n+6=126/18=7#

#n=7-6=1#

#x=12#

Explanation:

If #6# is added #19# times means #6*19#

which is then added to a number (#x#) , resulting in the number #126#

#=> 6*19+x=126#

#:. x = 12#
