Answer AND expaination

The product of a number and 3 increased by 5 is 7 less than twice the number which equation can be used to find this number , n?

its -7

the product of a number and 3: 3n

increased by 5: + 5

7 less than: - 7

twice the number: 2n

That gives us the following:

3n + 5 = 2n - 7

You only asked for the equation, not to actually help you solve for n, for note. If you do, just subtract 2n from both sides, and then subtract 5 from both sides.
