Solve: 5 + 3 x 2

Back

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

Front

Solve: (8 - 3) x 4

Back

20 (First subtract 8 - 3 = 5, then multiply by 4)

Front

What do you do first in the expression 6 + 2 x (3 - 1)?

Back

First, solve the parentheses: (3 - 1) = 2.

Front

Solve: 12 ÷ 4 + 5

Back

8 (First divide 12 ÷ 4 = 3, then add 5)

Front

What is the result of 7 - 2 + 3?

Back

8 (Perform from left to right: 7 - 2 = 5, then 5 + 3 = 8)

Front

Solve: 10 - (2 + 3) x 2

Back

0 (First solve the parentheses: 2 + 3 = 5, then 10 - 5 x 2 = 0)

Front

What is the value of 9 - 4 + 2?

Back

7 (Perform from left to right: 9 - 4 = 5, then 5 + 2 = 7)

Front

Solve: 3 x (4 + 2) - 5

Back

13 (First solve the parentheses: 4 + 2 = 6, then 3 x 6 - 5 = 13)
