Question
### Instructions

In each of the following, identify the computation that must be performed last.

### Problem

a. \( 5 \cdot 6 - 3 \cdot 4 + 2 \)

### Solution Explanation

1. **Multiplication**: Perform \( 5 \cdot 6 \) and \( 3 \cdot 4 \) first due to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
2. **Subtraction**: Subtract the result of \( 3 \cdot 4 \) from the result of \( 5 \cdot 6 \).
3. **Addition**: Add 2 to the result of the subtraction.

In this expression, the last computation to perform is the addition (adding 2).
