Applying BODMAS (Order of operations rule)
Where: B is for brackets
O is for 'of' which means multiplication
D is for division
M is for multiplication
A is for addition
S is for subtraction
In this case:
We start with addition then we go to addition and finally we subtract.
(78 × 13) - (8 × 78) + (26 × 78) - 78
= 1014 - 624 + 2028 - 78
= 1014 + 2028 - 624 - 78
= 3042 - 624 - 78
=2340
