Let T T be the number of coins of Tim and let A A be the number of coins of Alex

Given in the problem that A = 7 A=7 and T = A + 5 T=A+5 , therefore

T = 7 + 5 = T=7+5= 12 \color{#3D99F6}\large \boxed{12}

The equation we can use to represent this problem is: Alex's coins plus five equals Tim's coins, or 7 + 5 = 12 7 + 5 = 12 .

Tim has 5 more coins than Alex, who has 7 coins.

Thus, he has 7 + 5 = 12 7 + 5 = \boxed{12} coins.

Therefore, the answer is 12 .
