C

The order of operations tells us the correct steps for solving a math problem.
PEMDAS
1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication
4. Division
5. Addition
6. Subtract
Subtraction is the last step, so if none of the 5 steps before it are in the equation, then that is when you will do subtraction first.
