To find the value of the expression \( 7w - x \) given \( w = 5 \) and \( x = 9 \), we can substitute the values of \( w \) and \( x \) into the expression.
1. Substitute \( w = 5 \) into the expression \( 7w \):
\[
7w = 7 \times 5 = 35
\]
2. Now substitute \( x = 9 \):
\[
7w - x = 35 - 9
\]
3. Calculate \( 35 - 9 \):
\[
35 - 9 = 26
\]
Thus, the value of the expression \( 7w - x \) is \( \boxed{26} \).
