The number is less than 30
A multiple of+5
and the sum of the digit is 7....tells us that number is two digit number

if the sum of the digit is 7, then digits could be 0 and 7,1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4
since the number is a multiple of+5, the digit on place of ones must be +5 or 0 because only numbers which ends with +5 or 0 are divisible by 5
now, tens could be 1,2,3,4,6, or 7
since the number is less than 30, we can eliminate 4,6, and 7
so, the number could be 10,15,20, or 25
as you can see, all of them are solutions; all of them are less then 30 and multiple of+5
