There are basic rules of math that must be followed. One of the rules is the order of precedence. This can be easily remembered using the mnemonic BODMAS: Brackets pOwers Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction, so when solving a problem brackets are solved first, followed by powers (e.g. 42), then division and multiplication (both have the same priority) followed lastly by addition and subtraction (again, both have th esame priority) so in the question 4x2 and 7x8 must be solved first before carrying out the subtraction. This gives the following solution:

4x2 - 7x8 = 8 - 56 = -48
