Let's solve each problem step by step using the
order of operations, following
PEMDAS:
-
P: Parentheses
-
E: Exponents
-
M/D: Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
-
A/S: Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

1) 18 - 6 + 4 × 4 × 3
- First, do multiplication:
$ 4 × 4 = 16 $, then $ 16 × 3 = 48 $
- Now: $ 18 - 6 + 48 $
- Left to right:
$ 18 - 6 = 12 $, then $ 12 + 48 = 60 $
✔ Answer: 60
---
2) (16 + 8) - 3 × 5 + 18
- Parentheses: $ 16 + 8 = 24 $
- Then multiplication: $ 3 × 5 = 15 $
- Now: $ 24 - 15 + 18 $
- Left to right:
$ 24 - 15 = 9 $, then $ 9 + 18 = 27 $
✔ Answer: 27
---
3) (9 × 6) - (12 - 7) - 13
- Parentheses:
- $ 9 × 6 = 54 $
- $ 12 - 7 = 5 $
- Now: $ 54 - 5 - 13 $
- Left to right:
$ 54 - 5 = 49 $, then $ 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 $, then $ 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 $, then $ 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 $, then $ 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 $, then $ 47 - 36 = 11 $
✔ Answer: 11
---
8) (16 + 8) - 3 × 5 + 18
This is the same as
Problem 2.
- $ 16 + 8 = 24 $
- $ 3 × 5 = 15 $
- $ 24 - 15 + 18 = 9 + 18 = 27 $
✔ Answer: 27
---
9) 6 × 3 + 4 × (9 ÷ 3)
- Parentheses: $ 9 ÷ 3 = 3 $
- Multiplications:
- $ 6 × 3 = 18 $
- $ 4 × 3 = 12 $
- Now: $ 18 + 12 = 30 $
✔ Answer: 30
---
10) 2³ - 8 ÷ 4 × 2 + 7
- Exponent: $ 2³ = 8 $
- Division: $ 8 ÷ 4 = 2 $
- Multiplication: $ 2 × 2 = 4 $
- Now: $ 8 - 4 + 7 $
- Left to right:
$ 8 - 4 = 4 $, then $ 4 + 7 = 11 $
✔ Answer: 11
