Let x be the number. 
The equation is 5x + 7 = x + 35. 
Simplifying it, we get 4x = 28. 
Solving for x, we get x = 7. Therefore, the number is 7. The equation that can be set up is: 5x + 7 = x + 35
To solve for x: 
1. Subtract x from both sides: 5x + 7 - x = x + 35 - x 
4x + 7 = 35 
2. Subtract 7 from both sides: 4x + 7 - 7 = 35 - 7 
4x = 28 
3. Divide both sides by 4: 
x = 7 
Therefore, the answer is choice C, which states that the equation is 5x + 7 = x + 35, and the solution for x is 7.
