Answer: 197

Step-by-step explanation: First you have to get rid of the parentheses so you would do 5 times 6 to get 30. Then you would subtract 61 - 30 to get 31. to get rid of the parentheses you would then multiply 31 and 5 to get 155 and finally you would add 155 and 42 together to get 197 as your answer.
