Explanation:

Remember PEMDAS(Order of Operations):

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication or Division
  4. Addtion or Subtraction

First, solve anything within the parentheses.
That would be (78÷13),

78÷13=6

Now we are left with 628×3, the next step is to do do the exponents.

62=6×6=36

The equation up to this point would look like: 368×3.

Then multiply 8 and 3 together, multiplication comes before subtraction.
8×3 = 24

So we are left with: 3624
3624=12
