Front

Calculate: 3 + 5 × 2

Back

13 (Multiply first: 5 × 2 = 10, then add: 3 + 10 = 13).

Front

Calculate: (8 - 3) × 2

Back

10 (Subtract first: 8 - 3 = 5, then multiply: 5 × 2 = 10).

Front

Calculate: 6 + 2 × (3 + 1)

Back

14 (Calculate inside the parentheses first: 3 + 1 = 4, then multiply: 2 × 4 = 8, finally add: 6 + 8 = 14).

Front

Calculate: 4 × 2 + 6 ÷ 3

Back

14 (Multiply first: 4 × 2 = 8, then divide: 6 ÷ 3 = 2, finally add: 8 + 2 = 10).

Front

Calculate: 5 - 6² ÷ 4 - 3

Back

-7 (Calculate exponent first: 6² = 36, then divide: 36 ÷ 4 = 9, then subtract: 5 - 9 - 3 = -7).
