Let's go over it then :)
"The product of twice a number and three is the same as the difference of five times the number and 5/7."

The product of twice a number and three: $$2x * 3$$
is the same as (=)
the difference of 5 times the number and 5/7: $$5x - \frac{5}{7}$$

So $$2x * 3 = 5x - \frac{5}{7}$$
