I believe this can be set up as 6(n-5)-2. The difference of a number and five can be represented by n-5. If this needs to be multiplied by 6 (hence 6 times), it would become 6(n-5). Two less than that is represented by -2. Thus, two less than six times the difference of a number and five is 6(n-5) -2, which, when n=9 is plugged in, looks like 6(9-5) -2. Follow PEMDAS from there.
