According to the order of operations, multiplication happens before subtraction (unless specified otherwise). So, first we multiply B by 3 , then subtract the 4 afterward.
Note that you can write a constant (a number) multiplied by a variable (a letter or symbol) by placing them side by side without a space between them.
