12-5n

                        First of all, the "product" indicates that you multiply these           numbers.

Here we are asked to multiply a number n times 5. This can be written as follows:

[tex]\red{\textsf{\textbf{5n}}}[/tex]

Now, "12 less" indicates that we subtract 12 from something; in this case, this "something" is 5n:

[tex]\red{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{12-5n}}}}[/tex]

Good luck.
