1) 18 - 6 + 4 × 4 × 3

First, do multiplication:
4 × 4 = 16
16 × 3 = 48

Now: 18 - 6 + 48
Left to right:
18 - 6 = 12
12 + 48 = 60

✔ Answer: 60

2) (16 + 8) - 3 × 5 + 18

Parentheses first:
16 + 8 = 24

Multiplication next:
3 × 5 = 15

Now: 24 - 15 + 18
Left to right:
24 - 15 = 9
9 + 18 = 27

✔ Answer: 27

3) (9 × 6) - (12 - 7) - 13

Parentheses first:
9 × 6 = 54
12 - 7 = 5

Now: 54 - 5 - 13
Left to right:
54 - 5 = 49
49 - 13 = 36

✔ Answer: 36

4) 2 × (34 - 29) + 32 - 11

Parentheses:
34 - 29 = 5

Multiplication:
2 × 5 = 10

Now: 10 + 32 - 11
Left to right:
10 + 32 = 42
42 - 11 = 31

✔ Answer: 31

---

5) 8 × 4 - (3 + 16) + 3

Parentheses:
3 + 16 = 19

Multiplication:
8 × 4 = 32

Now: 32 - 19 + 3
Left to right:
32 - 19 = 13
13 + 3 = 16

✔ Answer: 16

---

6) 38 + 37 - 8 × (2 + 5)

Parentheses:
2 + 5 = 7

Multiplication:
8 × 7 = 56

Now: 38 + 37 - 56
Left to right:
38 + 37 = 75
75 - 56 = 19

✔ Answer: 19

---

7) 7 × (10 - 6) + 19 - 36

Parentheses:
10 - 6 = 4

Multiplication:
7 × 4 = 28

Now: 28 + 19 - 36
Left to right:
28 + 19 = 47
47 - 36 = 11

✔ Answer: 11

---

8) (16 + 8) - 3 × 5 + 18

This is the same as #2!
Parentheses: 16 + 8 = 24
Multiplication: 3 × 5 = 15
Then: 24 - 15 + 18 = 9 + 18 = 27

✔ Answer: 27

---

9) 6 × 3 + 4 × (9 ÷ 3)

Parentheses first:
9 ÷ 3 = 3

Now multiplications:
6 × 3 = 18
4 × 3 = 12

Now: 18 + 12 = 30

✔ Answer: 30

---

10) 2³ - 8 ÷ 4 × 2 + 7

Exponents first:
2³ = 8

Now division and multiplication left to right:
8 ÷ 4 = 2
2 × 2 = 4

Now: 8 - 4 + 7
Left to right:
8 - 4 = 4
4 + 7 = 11

✔ Answer: 11

3) 36
4) 31
5) 16
6) 19
7) 11
8) 27
9) 30
10) 11
