To express "five times the sum of a number and seven" mathematically, you can use the following steps:

  1. Let the number be represented by the variable \( x \).
  2. The sum of the number and seven can be expressed as \( x + 7 \).
  3. To find five times this sum, you multiply the expression by 5.

Putting it all together, you get:

\[ 5(x + 7) \]

This expression represents five times the sum of a number and seven.
