To simplify an expression, you need to combine the like terms.
To combine the like terms, we must first group them together:
(5x+(12))+(6x(7(12))=(5x+6x)+(12)(7(12))
To combine like variable terms, you add the coefficients. Therefore 5x+6x=(5+6)x=11.
Subtracting 12 and 7(12) gives 127(12)=7.
Combining the like terms then gives:
(5x+6x)+((12)(7(12)))=11x7
