You want to break this down.
“5 less than” means you’ll subtract 5 from something.
That something is “3 times a number.” “3 times a number” means 3•x or 3x, since we’ll use x for that unknown number.
So, “5 less than 3 times a number” means “subtract 5 from 3x”: 3x-5
“Is” means “equals”. So 3x-5= something.
7, well, that’s 7.
So “5 less than 3 times a number is 7” means ”subtract 5 from 3x and set that equal to 7.”
3x-5=7
