    Explanation:

    You can solve this problem by setting up an equation.

    7 more that double a number is just 2x + 7

    Five less than triple that number is just 3x - 5

    Since they are equal to each other, you can set them equally to each other.

    2x + 7 = 3x - 5

    Solve.

    7 + 5 = 3x - 2x

    x = 12
