Answer: 24

====================================================

Work Shown:

Everywhere you see an x, replace it with 5.

Then use PEMDAS to simplify.

y = 4*(x-2)*(x-3) + 7*(x-2)*(x-5) - 6*(x-3)*(x-5)

y = 4*(5-2)*(5-3) + 7*(5-2)*(5-5) - 6*(5-3)*(5-5)

y = 4*(3)*(2) + 7*(3)*(0) - 6*(2)*(0)

y = 24 + 0 - 0

y = 24

This means,

4*(x-2)*(x-3) + 7*(x-2)*(x-5) - 6*(x-3)*(x-5) = 24

when x = 5
