    Let's break this up:

    let x = the number

    "when I triple my number" is the same as

    3x

    "and add five" is the same as

    +5

    We combine it to get

    3x+5

    "I get twenty-six"

    =26

    combine to get

    3x+5=26

    Now we just solve:

    subtract 5 from both sides to get

    3x=21

    divide by 3 to get

    x=7
