You would find the area of the rug and subtract it from the area of the room.
so, first you have to find the area of the floor and carpet alone. so for the carpet, it would be

12 x 10 = 120 ft (for the floor) 

and

7 x 5 = 35 ft (for the carpet)

now, to find the area of the floor that isn't covered by the rug, you subtract them. 

120 - 35 = 85 ft    85 ft is your answer
