Alright. So the problem is

10*12+-15/5+2(9-4)

Lets break down what we can for now

First focus on parenthesized, multiplying, and dividing in the problem.

10*12=120 15/5=3 (9-4)=5

120+-3+2*5

So the next step, we see 2*5 and a negative -3 on top of a positive symbol.

2*5=10

120-3+10

Now subtract from the left to the right and get your answer.

120-3=117

117+10=127
