Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

According to the given information:

2(x + 5) = 3(x - 7) \\  \\  \therefore \: 2x + 10 = 3x - 21 \\  \\   \therefore \: 10 + 21 = 3x -2x \\  \\ \therefore \: 31 = x \\  \\  \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \: x = 31}}

Hence the required number is 31.
