Front

In the expression 3 + 5 x 2, which operation do you perform first?

Back

Multiplication (5 x 2) before Addition (3 + 10).

Front

What is the result of 5 + 2 x 3?

Back

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

Front

What is the result of (4 + 6) ÷ 2?

Back

5 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 4 + 6 = 10, then 10 ÷ 2 = 5).

Front

What is the result of 8 - (3 + 2)?

Back

3 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 3 + 2 = 5, then 8 - 5 = 3).

Front

What is the result of 2 x (3 + 4) - 5?

Back

9 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 3 + 4 = 7, then 2 x 7 = 14, and finally 14 - 5 = 9).

Front

What is the result of 10 - 2 x 3 + 4?

Back

8 (First, 2 x 3 = 6, then 10 - 6 = 4, and finally 4 + 4 = 8).
