Answer:

5 times x minus 8 minus 7

Explanation:

whenever you see an x right next to a number, it means that it's being multiplied for that number. For example: 2x mean 2 times x

This symbol - is a minus symbol. So when it's in front of a number, you say "minus" and then the number. For example: 4 - 3 means, Four minus three.
