Plug in the given values and follow the instructions....

For example, 7¿6 = 5(7)-3(6) = 35-18 = 17.

I suspect, however, that you have not shown the definitions correctly. The definition of m§n should involve both m and n; but your definition shows m§n = 2-n.

...or possibly that is the right definition -- in which case you can finish the problem.
