I went from left to right without using the correct order of operations. Multiplication first (5 x 2) then work left to right.

Fix my Mistake

100

Fix this mistake. 9 - 3 x 2=12

Correct answer is 3. Do x then -, not - then x.

3 x 9 + 3 + 9 - (2 + 3) = 40

Brackets first then do multiplication and work left to right.

2 x 8/(2 + 4 ) = 12

Brackets first, the working from left to right. The correct answer is 3.

400

4 + 5² + 7 - 3 x 2 = 25

You did not do the index correctly. You times the base by 2 instead of by itself. The correct answer is 30.

3 x 9 + ( 3 - 2) = 135

Wrong operation in the final step. Multiplied 27 by 5 instead of adding together.
