3•62 – 8•7 =
Multiplication must be done before subtraction.
Do the first multiplication, which is 3•62 and replace 3•62 by 186.
Now you have
186 - 8•7
Multiplication again must be done before subtraction, so
Do the first multiplication you come to, which is 8•7, so replace
8•7 by 56
186 - 56
Now there is nothing to do but subtract, so the final answer is 130.
