  1. Let the number be x

    5 times of x=5x

    And 7 means add 7=5x+7

    Their sum = 5x+7=22

    Therefore 5x=22–7=15

    5x=15 dividing by 5

    x=3

    Verification

    5x+7=22

    5*3+7=22

    15+7=22

    22=22

    L.H.S.= R.H..S

    Ans The number is 3

    Or.

    (x)*(7+5) ≥ 22
