+5%2A%28+n%2B7+%29%2F7=7+
Multiply both sides by +7+
+5%2A%28+n+%2B+7+%29+=+49+
+5n+%2B+35+=+49+
Subtract +35+ from both sides
+5n+=+14+
Divide both sides by +5+
+n+=+14%2F5+
check answer:
+5%2A%28+14%2F5+%2B+7+%29%2F7=7+
Note that +7+=+35%2F5+
+5%2A%28+14%2F5+%2B+35%2F5+%29%2F7=7+
+5%2A%28+49%2F5+%29%2F7=7+
Multiply both sides by +7+
+5%2A%2849%2F5%29+=+49+
Divide both sides by +5+
+49%2F5+=+49%2F5+
OK
