Csc(x) - cot(x) forms an identity with which of the following?
a. tan(x) b. tan (x/2) c. cot (x/2) d. cot (x)

Csc ( x ) - cot ( x ) = ( 1 / sin ( x) ) - ( cos (x) / sin (x) )
 = ( 1 - cos (x) ) / sin (x)

then 1 - cos (x) = 2 sin^2 ( x/2 )
and  sin x = 2sin( x/2)cos( x/2)

substitute it
 = ( 1 - cos (x) ) / sin (x)
=2 sin^2 ( x/2 ) / 2sin( x/2)cos( x/2)

then simplify
= sin (x/2) / cos (x/2)
since sin/cos = tan

 csc ( x ) - cot ( x ) = tan ( x/2)

B. because the 7 represents "seven times", x represents "a number", 12 represents "plus twelve", and -4 represents "minus four"

7p=14 so then you would divide by p=2
