The order for addition and subtraction doesn't matter. You do the one in the beginning first. Start with multiplication.
[tex] 3 \times 1,000,000,000 = 3,000,000,000 [/tex]
Do the next part with multiplication:
[tex] 754 \times 2 = 1,508 [/tex]
Subtraction is at the end, so you do it last. Subtract:
[tex] 3,000,000,000 - 1,508 = 2,999,998,492 [/tex]
Your answer is 2,999,998,492
