Hey there :)
Let us first translate the sentence into mathematics!
Seven less than 5 times a number is 62
Less than means minus
seven less than is 'something - 7'
"Is" is where = sign comes
Let n represent a number
5n - 7 = 62
Take 7 to the other side [ Add when you see minus sign ]
5n - 7 ( + 7 ) = 62 + 7
5n = 69
Take 5 to the other side in order to isolate n [ Divide when you see multiplication sign ]
5n ÷ 5 = 69 ÷ 5
n = 13.8
Therefore, we can notice that the error has occurred in the first line
