Let your number be $\"x\"$ . When you subtract 7 from your number, the result is $\"x-7\"$ . To divide that result by 5 gives $\"%28x-7%29%2F5\"$ . The result of this division is 63, so you have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-7%29%2F5=63\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now that the equation is set up, you need to solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-7%29%2F5=63\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5: $\"x-7=315\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add 7 to both sides $\"x=322\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
