It looks like you have all the data you need to build an Hess' cycle, where the intermediate products are those of combustion of glucose and combustion of the elements in their standard states. Just make sure that the arrows are pointing in the right direction. Do you know how to out it together?

this actually makes so much sense, thank you! One last question... did you do reactants - products because its the formula for the enthalpy change of reaction

You can do products-reactant when you have the enthalpy of formation I believe. in this case if you imagine the red arrow as the reaction path, any enthalpy arrow (the black ones) of the same direction get a +ve and the one on the opposite direction gets a -ve. That’s why the arrows’ directions are VERY important. At the end of the calculation also do a mental check of the sign of the value you obtained. if it is an exothermic reaction as in this case, you expect a negative value for example, just to make sure you got the arrow direction correctly.
