The easiest way is to use (& to memorize) the sum formula for a AP:
Sum = 1st term added to the last term & multiplied by half the number of terms
S = (a+l)n/2
S = (5 + 53)(7/2) = 203
If she is cutting the chain into 32 pieces a foot each, she has 32 pieces of chain.
So 2x+12=5x-9
you want all of the unknowns on one side and all of the known values on the other or
subtract 2x from both sides
12=3x-9
add 9 to both sides
21=3x
divide both sides by 3
7=x
