Use the X first. 8x4=32
32+6-3=35

I think they're wrong..............it should have brackets in the equation.......

(6-3)+8x4=35
Brackets worked out first....then mult. then the rest :o)

Brackets unnecessary here.
Remember BODMAS from your school days!

Division and Multiplication take preference over Addition and Subtraction

BODMAS has now been modernised as BEDMAS -- brackets, exponentiation, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction. I agree there is no need for brackets.

I think you have to separate the sums ie.

6 - 3 = 3
8x4 = 32

3 + 32 = 35
