The expression 6(x − 5) means the product of 6 and the difference of x minus 5. If x = 7, the value of the expression is 12.

We can see that the number 6 to the left of the expression 6(x - 5), this means 6 times (x - 5), The reason we write it that way is because the multiplication symbol, ×, can be confused with the variable x, follow by (x - 5) which is the difference of x minus 5. All together is the product of 6 and the difference of x minus 5.

If x = 7, then:

6(7 - 5) = 6(2) = 12

Following are the solution to the given expression:

Given:

[tex]6(x-5) \\\\ x=7 [/tex]

To find:

value=?

Solution:

[tex]\to 6(x-5)\\\\ [/tex]

putting the x value into the above expression:

[tex]\to 6(7-5)\\\\ \to 6(2)\\\\ \to 12[/tex]

Therefore the final answer is "12".
