Answer:
It was difficult reading the question, as written. Check my assumptions.
Step-by-step explanation:
"five more than the product of two and a number,
decreased by seven"
---
Let the "number" be a.
We are told "five more than . ." means +5,
"the product of two and a number" means 2a,
"decreased by seven" mean -7
Put the statements together to obtain:
+5+2a-7
Simplify to 2a-2
Evaluate when a = 8:
2a-2
2(8)-2
16-2
= 14
