Answer

\[15\].

Work Step by Step

Put \[x=-2\]in the given expression and simplify it as follows: \[\begin{align} & 7{{x}^{2}}+4x-5=7{{\left( -2 \right)}^{2}}+4\left( -2 \right)-5 \\ & =28-8-5 \\ & =15 \end{align}\] Hence, the algebraic expression \[7{{x}^{2}}+4x-5\] evaluated at \[x=-2\]gives\[15\].
