To begin the equation you need to work what is in the parentheses first. So what you get inside the parentheses is (20-15), Now you can solve what is inside the parentheses. So now your equation should look like 42+ 14-(5). Now you can get rid of the parentheses and you get 42+14-5. Now you simplify the rest and you get 56-5=51.
