Do the two inner parentheses first

$${\mathtt{10}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{4}} = {\mathtt{40}}$$

$${\mathtt{7}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{5}} = {\mathtt{35}}$$

subtract what is in the outer most parentheses

$${\mathtt{40}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{35}} = {\mathtt{5}}$$

add what is left outside the parentheses

$${\mathtt{5}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{5}} = {\mathtt{10}}$$
