Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number which Maria was thinking of.

Then considering the given statement , we have the following equation:-

\(6x+7=25\)

To solve the above equation, we first subtract 7 on both the sides , we get

\(6x=18\)

Now, divide 6 on both the sides , we get

\(x=3\)

Hence, maria'a number is 3.
