$2 (9 - x^{5})$ $2(9-x^5)$

Explanation:

$7 - 2 x^{5} - 3 + 2 + 12$ $7 - 2x^5-3+2+12$

= $7 - 3 + 2 + 12 - 2 x^{5}$ $7-3+2+12 - 2x^5$ simplify the numbers

= $18 - 2 x^{5}$ $18- 2x^5$

= $(2 \times 9) - (2 \times x^{5})$ $(2xx9)-(2xxx^5)$ find common factor

= $2 (9 - x^{5})$ $2(9-x^5)$ factor out 2
