![The problem presented is as follows:
"If \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 7 \), what is the value of \( 2x - y \)?"
To solve this, substitute \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 7 \) into the expression \( 2x - y \):
\[ 2x - y = 2(5) - 7 \]
\[ = 10 - 7 \]
\[ = 3 \]
Thus, the value of the expression \( 2x - y \) is 3.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3e0e1a50-ba3f-4042-a2ac-5820bcfd7374%2F87bec9b9-e763-4d84-b1bf-04868eccbc54%2Fb1ws1b_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
