Answer:

D. 58

Explanation:

The multiplication and division are performed first.

... 32 +6·5 -7 +12/4

... = 32 +30 -7 +3

Then, the Order of Operations tells you to do the addition/subtraction left to right. Of course, if you keep the sign with the number, you can do the addition in any convenient order.

... = 62 -7 +3

... = 55 +3

... = 58
