Problem 1:
7 + (4 x 5).
Start with Parentheses (4 x 5) equals 20.
Then add 7, so 7 + 20, which equals 27.
So the Answer to this problem is 27
______
Problem 2:
8 x (3 + 2).
Start with Parentheses first, (3 + 2), which equals 5.
Then move onto Multiplication so: 8 x 5, which equals 40
The Answer to this problem is 40.
______
Problem 3:
(5 - 2) + 5 x 2.
Start with Parentheses first (5 -2), which equals 3.
Then move onto the Multiplication, so 5 x 2, which equals 10.
Then add 3 + 10, which equals 13.
The Answer to this problem is 13.
______
Problem 4:
3 + 2 x (4 - 2) + 3
Start with Parentheses first, (4 - 2), which equals 2.
Then rewrite the equation as:
3 + 2 x 2 + 3
Now we do multiplication, 2 x 2 which equals 4.
Then we rewrite the problem again:
3 + 4 + 3, Now we simply add 3 + 4 + 3, which equals 10.
3 + 4 equals 7, and 7 + 3 equals 10.
The Answer to this problem is 10.
______
Problem 5:
(5 - 3) x 5.
Start with Parentheses first, (5 - 3) which equals 2.
Then move onto the only remaining step which is multiplication, so do 2 x 5.
2 x 5 equals 10.
The Answer to this problem is 10.
______
Problem 6:
5 x 5 - 2
Take a look that there aren’t any Parentheses, or exponents, and that in this equation there are only two steps, Multiplication and Subtraction.
So if you look at the order of operations, what comes after Parentheses and exponents?
Multiplication, so the first thing we need to do is 5 x 5, which equals 25.
Then all we need to do is 25 - 2, which equals 23.
The Answer to this problem is 23.
______
Problem 7:
4 x 3 + (5 x 2)
The first thing that you need to solve is the Parentheses, so we need to do (5 x 2), which equals 10.
Now that we’re done with the PArentheses, we need to move onto multiplication, so 4 x 3, which equals 12.
Now we rewrite the problem as:
12 + 10, which equals 22.
The Answer to this problem is 22.
______
Problem 8:
2 x 6 - (2 x 2)
The first thing you need to do is solve what's in the Parentheses, so first ( 2 x 2), which equals 4.
Next we move onto multiplication, so we do 2 x 6 which equals 12.
Now we rewrite the problem as: 12 - 4 which equals 8.
The Answer to this problem is 8.

Problem 9:
5 x 3 - (4 - 2) x 1.
First do the Parentheses, so (4 - 2), which equals 2.
Then do Multiplication, so do 5 x 3, which equals 15.
So now we rewrite the problem as 15 - 2 x 1.
Now we do the other Multiplication, which is 2 x 1, which equals 2.
So now we just have 15 - 2, which equals 13.
The Answer to this problem is 13.
______
Problem 10:
2 x 2 - 3
First do the Multiplication, 2 x 2, which equals 4.
Then do 4 - 3, which equals 1.
The Answer to this problem is 1.
