Answer:

A(29)

Explanation:

First you do parenthesis.

what is 7 - 4 it=3

Next do 12 x 2 what is 12 x 2 it is 24 but don't do anything with it.

Now we go to subtraction and what is 8 - 3 it is 5.

Finally were going to do 5 + our 12 x 2.

what is 5 + 24 it is 29. And there's your answer.

The order for the is problem is P(parenthesis)

P| parenthesis

E| exponents

M,D| Multiplication and division left to right.

A,S| Addition and subtraction also left to right.

Again
_____

Answer is 29

Hope it helps have a great day:)
