Evaluate: 5 + 3 x 2

Back

11 (First multiply 3 x 2 = 6, then add 5).

Front

Evaluate: (4 + 2) x 3

Back

18 (First add 4 + 2 = 6, then multiply by 3).

Front

What is 2^3?

Back

8 (2 raised to the power of 3 means 2 x 2 x 2).

Front

Evaluate: 10 - 2 + 4

Back

12 (First subtract 2 from 10, then add 4).

Front

What operation do you perform first in 8 ÷ 2 x 4?

Back

Division (8 ÷ 2 = 4, then multiply by 4).

Front

Evaluate: 6 + 2 x (3 - 1)

Back

10 (First solve inside the parentheses, then multiply, then add).

Front

What is the result of 15 - 3 x 2?

Back

9 (First multiply 3 x 2 = 6, then subtract from 15).
