Answer:

your answer is 32

Explanation:

the order of operations is known as PEMDAS

P= parenthesis

E=exponents

M=multiplication

D=division

A= addition

S= subtraction

Step 1: identity

the first thing that you are going to do is go down the list see if there are any parenthesis, exponents, etc. n this case there's only multiplication, adding, and subtracting.

step 2: start solving

1. multiplication comes first in line so, you're going to do

3x7= 21

2. then Addition

21+15= 36

3. and lastly Subtraction

36-4= 32
