ANSWER
You have to first, as I said, figure out the order of operations.
Should you just solve everything from left to right?
Well, no. Not really.
You must solve the multiplication before the addition.
14 – 3 x 2 – 5 = ?
14 – 6 – 5 = ?
Now, on the other hand, after solving that part – you can actually solve the rest from left to right.
In conclusion, it becomes very simple – and now I think you know the answer!
Below you can see the solution!
14 – 3 x 2 – 5 = ?
14 – 6 – 5 = ?
8 – 5 = ?
= 3. The answer is 3.
