Answer:

37

Explanation:

You have to follow rules of Parentheses Exponents Mutiply Divide Add and Subtract. (PEMDAS)

You must go from left to right when you solve a expression

You have to start with multiplying 7*8 because thats the first problem when you start from the left.

It will result in the expression to be changed to 56-3*6+1

Next you do the multpilcation for 3*6 which gives you 18

Your expression will change to 56-18+1

Now you have to add Before you subtract

SO it would be 56-19

Which has an ending result of 37
