This would be one way to write the expresion/equation; in which "x" represents the unknown number.

Now, to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________
Given:
____________________________________________
$\frac{x}{3}$ - 5 = -7 ;

Add "5" to EACH SIDE of the equation:
_____________________________________________
$\frac{x}{3}$ - 5 + 5 = -7 + 5 ;

to get:

$\frac{x}{3}$ = -2 ;

x = (-2 * 3) ;
