    Let the number be x

    5 is subtracted from a certain number means it will be x - 5

    The result is multiplied by 7, the final result is 63,

    7 (x - 5) = 63

    7x - 35 = 63

    7x = 63 + 35

    7x = 98

    x = 98/7

    x = 14

    The number is 14

    Answer the number is 14 and the equation is 7 (x - 5) = 63
