Alright, lets get started.

Grey and white both color pigeons are sitting on a wire.

Suppose number of white pegions = x

The number of grey pigeons on a wire is 6 times the number of white pigeons.

It means number of grey pegions = 6x

So, total number of pegions will be =
x + 6x

total number of pegions will be = 7 x

Hence the expression would be 7 x : Answer

Hope it will help :)
