If the expression is: 5e + 5 - 7f, which is what I think you meant, and e = 6 and f = 5,then you just need to substitute the 6 in for the "e" in the expression and the 5 in for the "f" in the expression, like this:
5(6) + 5 - 7(5)
Now, use your order of operations. So PEMDAS says that we will do the multiplication first
5 x 6 is 30 and 7 x 5 is 35
30 + 5 - 35
Now we perform the addition and subtraction, but since they have the same priority according to the order of operations, we will just move left to right.
30 + 5 = 35
Then 35 - 35 = 0
So the answer is 0. Here is how your work should look:
5e + 5 - 7f, when e = 6 and f = 5
5(6) + 5 - 7(5)
30 + 5 - 35
35 - 35
0
