See a solution process below:

Using PEDMAS for the order of operation first Multiply the two numbers on the left:

$12 \cdot 5 - 8 \Rightarrow 60 - 8$ $color(red)(12) * color(red)(5) - 8 => 60 - 8$

We can now Subtract the two remaining numbers giving:

$60 - 8 = 52$ $60 - 8 = 52$

How do you evaluate 12*5-812⋅5−812*5-8?
