Hey there!

Let's write an equation given this information. We will use x to represent the number.

2(x-7)=5

Now, we use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

2x-14=5

Now, we add 14 to both sides.

2x=19

We divide both sides by 2.

x=9.5

Therefore, our number is 9.5

I hope this helps!
