What operation do you perform first in the expression 8 + 2 x 5?

Back

Multiplication (2 x 5 = 10), then addition (8 + 10 = 18).

Front

In the expression 10 - 4 ÷ 1 x 5, which operation is performed first?

Back

Division (4 ÷ 1 = 4), then multiplication (4 x 5 = 20), then subtraction (10 - 20 = -10).

What is the first step in solving 3 + 4 x 6 - 4?

Back

Multiplication (4 x 6 = 24), then addition and subtraction.

Front

What is the result of 5 + 3 x 2?
