$57$

$7 - 25 + 3 xx 25$

A good way to remember the order of operations is PEMDAS, shown here:

Following this image and what we need to simplify, we first need to do multiplication:
$7 - 25 + 75$

Since addition and subtract are equal in the order of operations, do it from left to right:
$-18 + 75$

$=57$

Hope this helps!
