I'm assuming you meant
you have 60 min free tril
take 5 mins set up
7 mins per level
let l be the number of levels
find the max numbe rof levels


so
time=setup+gameplay
but 60 is max so
time≤60 so
setup+gameplay≤60
setup=5
gameplay=number of levels times time per level=l times 7=7l
so

5+7l≤60
solve
minus 5 both sides
7l≤55
divide both sides by 7
l≤7.8bla
we can't play0.8 level
round down
7 levels possible
