x = your number(s)
Five times the difference of a number and two
is seven more than that number mean:
5 ( x - 2 ) = 7 + x
Twice a number decreased by two is equivalent
to than number increased by five mean:
2 ( x - 2 ) = x + 5
Try to solve this two equations.
How do I put these into equations?

I am so lost

"Twice a number decreased by two is equivalent
to that number increased by five"
my interpretation instead of what Bosnian had:
2x - 2 = x + 5
to that number increased by five"

What is 5 times difference of 7 and 3?
