Multiplication First with Subtraction

Building on multiplication priority, students now apply the multiply-first rule to problems involving subtraction. This worksheet reinforces that multiplication comes before subtraction, just as it does before addition. Problems are presented in two formats: multiplication first (3 × 4 - 5) and multiplication after subtraction (15 - 2 × 3). Students must identify and perform multiplication before subtracting, with detailed solutions showing both steps.
