Answer: the answer to this problem is 13!

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we must work backward. So the last step we did in this problem was adding five to the number, so to work backward we must subtract 5 from 96 to get 91. Now then the last step was to multiply by seven and since we are working backward, we must divide by seven to get our original number 13.

This is the equation: (13*7)+5

Hope this helped :)
