![\boxed{12}](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/c5n014zb2wbb9wys03dd21tnny1xt63lm9.png)
Explanation:
E is 5 more than d
f is 7 less than d
a) e = d + 5
b) f = d - 7
c) plug the values of e and f
![= d + 5 - (d - 7)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/qplv642htkzzinr2c9b0zzku1irnyy9qkg.png)
When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression
![= d + 5 - d + 7](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/qns7trxwg59hpv6t3kaju3r0hkkz5vtcmi.png)
Since, two opposites add up to zero , remove them from the expression
![= 5 + 7](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/hjltf2cwnvzqvlvi7d3u8zpf8i0mkybub0.png)
Add the numbers
