To determine if \( x = 10 \) is a solution of the equation \( x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 \), we can substitute \( x = 10 \) into the equation and see if it satisfies the equation.

Substituting \( x = 10 \):

\[
10^2 - 7(10) + 12 = 0
\]

Calculating each term:

\[
100 - 70 + 12
\]

Combine the terms:

\[
100 - 70 = 30
\]

\[
30 + 12 = 42
\]

Since \( 42 \neq 0 \), this means that \( x = 10 \) is **not** a solution of the equation \( x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 \).

So the answer is **No**.
