12-5n

First of all, the "product" indicates that you multiply these numbers.

Here we are asked to multiply a number n times 5. This can be written as follows:

`\red{\textsf{\textbf{5n}}}`

Now, "12 less" indicates that we subtract 12 from something; in this case, this "something" is 5n:

`\red{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{12-5n}}}}`

Good luck.
