See the entire simplification process below:

First, because there are no Parenthesis or Exponents (PE), we will handle the Multiplication and Division (MD):

$15 - \frac{35}{7} \cdot 2 + 3 \cdot 4 \to$ $15 - color(red)(35/7) * 2 + 3 * 4 ->$

$15 - 5 \cdot 2 + 3 \cdot 4 \to$ $15 - color(red)(5 * 2) + color(red)(3 * 4) ->$

$15 - 10 + 12$ $15 - 10 + 12$

Then, handle the Addition and Subtraction (AS) from left to right:

$15 - 10 + 12 \to$ $color(red)(15 - 10) + 12 ->$

$5 + 12 \to$ $5 + 12 ->$

$17$ $17$
