29x - 5, since you simplify by combining like terms.

Hello and Welcome to Openstudy! :) values with " x " attached to them can only be added or subtracted with values with " x " so like 5x - 3x = 2x but 5x - 3 can't be simplified so knowing that, 17x - 12x = 5x and 5x - 5 can not be simplified further
