Let the number is x

Five times a number means the number is multiply by 5

Since our number is x

So, five times a number = 5 multiply by x

five times a number = 5x

Similarly :

Twelve times a number means the number is multiply by 12

Since our number is x

So, 12 times a number = 12 multiply by x

Twelve times a number = 12x

Difference between five times a number and twelve​ = Twelve times a number - five times a number

Difference between five times of x and twelve​ = 12x - 5x

Difference between five times of x and twelve​ = 7x

Difference between five times a number and twelve​ is 7

Difference between five times a number and twelve​ is seven

Answer : Difference between five times a number and twelve​ is seven
