Answer 1

The equation 5x + 7 = 27 represents 'Five less than seven times a number.' The solution to the equation is x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation, 5x + 7 = 27, represents the relationship between a number (represented by 'x') and the expression 'Five less than seven times a number.' To find the solution(s) to this equation, we can solve for 'x' by subtracting 7 from both sides, and then dividing both sides by 5. The solution to the equation 5x + 7 = 27 is x = 4. Therefore, the number 4 is the solution to the equation.
