Advice

BIDMAS stands for:

Brackets

Indices

Division

Multiplication

Addition

Subtraction

And is a way for us to remember guidance about the order in which calculations are carried out to ensure that everyone doing teh same sum gets the same answer. In this case the first thing that is in the question is Multiplication.

First work through the expression from left to right, evaluating any multiplication as you come to them. You should be left with an expression involving only pluses and minuses. Evaluate this expression, again working from left to right. Thus:

$\var{a}-\var{b} \times \var{c}$

$=\var{a}-\var{b*c}$

$=\var{a-b*c}$
