Following the order of operations, first we do the division: 12 ÷ 2 = 6
Then we multiply by 3: 6 × 3 = 18
Next we do the subtraction inside the parentheses: 7 - 5 = 2
Finally, we perform the subtraction outside the parentheses: 18 - 2 = 16
Therefore, the answer is 6.
Use the order of operations to find the value of the expression.
