Answer:

3(C + 5) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = unknown number

The <u>sum</u> of a <u>number and 5</u>:

C + 5

<u>Three times</u> the sum of a number and 5:

3(C + 5)

Three times the sum of a number and 5 <u>is 7</u>:

3(C + 5) = 7

<u>To solve</u>

Use the distributive law:  a(b + c) = ab + ac

⇒ 3C + 15 = 7

Subtract 15 from both sides:

⇒ 3C = -8

Divide both sides by 3:

⇒ C = -8/3
