We can expand \(3(x - 4) + 2(x^2 - x + 7) - 5(x - 1)\)  to find the constant coefficient.
  
 This will get us \(3x-12+2x^2-2x+14-5x+5.\)
  
 Adding and subtracting "like" terms, this will get us \(2x^2-4x+7.\)
  
 This will get us 7 as the constant coefficient, like jfan17 said.
  
 Hope this helped!
