5+ 20 is the first thing that you do in the equation you do 5+20x3 then you do minus 12 then you can solve the equation straight across. you follow the rule PEMDAS. parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.
Actually it’s 20*3 because you have to do PEMDAS. You have to do what is in the Parenthesis first, but you still have to do Multiplication or Division first. So you wouldn’t add, you would multiply first.
