Convert 6\frac{3}{8}6​8​​3​​ to improper fraction. Use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a​c​b​​=​cac+b​​:
​∣86×8+3​​−2∣+∣−8​8​5​​−1


Simplify 6\times 86×8 to 48:
8
48+3​​
−2∣+∣−8​8​5​​−1∣


Simplify 48+348+3 to 51:

8
51​​
−2∣+∣−8​8​5​​−1∣

Make the denominators the same:
51​​/8−2×​8​8​​

Simplify. Denominators are now the same:

51​​/8​816​​

Join the denominators: \frac{51-16}{8}​851−16​​

etc.. and your answer will be 14
