If I am reading this correctly but I might not because those could be x’s not times. If you follow PEMDAS(please excuse my dear aunt sally helps you remember) you start with parentheses then move to exponents then do you multiplication and Divison and addition and subtraction. So (18 x 5 + 6 x 4 - 12 x 3) you start there 18 x 5 is 90, 6 x 4 is 24, 12 x 3 is 36 so then add 90 +24 which is 114 and then minus 36 from 114. Which is 78. After all that go to 6 x 2 which is 12 from there you would have 78 divided by 12 which equals 6.5. Hopefully that helps but since I could tell if the they were x’s or times.
