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
