Given the numerical equation:

x^2 + x(x - 5) - x + 7

Simplify the expression.

Solution:

In order to simplify the expression, we must first distribute x to each value inside its corresponding parenthesis, and then combine similar terms.

= x^2 + x(x - 5) - x + 7 

= x^2 + x^2 -5x - x + 7

= 2x^2 - 6x + 7

Final answer:

= 2x^2 - 6x + 7
