Let's represent the number as (x). The phrase "Eight less than five times a number" can be translated to (5x - 8), and "is seven more than the number" can be translated to (x + 7). Therefore, the algebraic equation representing the given phrase is (5x - 8 = x + 7).
x - 7 = 12
If seven times a number results in 35, then six times a number would be five less.
seven seven
