The problem was 20 - 5 x 2 + 3. My answer was 33. What did I do wrong?

I went from left to right without using the correct order of operations.

Am I right?

100

9 - 3 x 2=12

No. Correct answer is 3. Do x then -, not - then x.

200

8 - 2  / 2 x 1= 3

No. First you have to do 2/2=1 then 1x1=1 then 8-1=1

300

10 + 3 - (1+5) x 2 = 16

No. First you have to do 1+5=6. Then 6x2 = 12. Then 10+3=13. Then 13-12=1

400

4 + 5 + 7 - 3 x 2 = 26

No. You need to follow PEMDAS and do x first. Correct answer is 10.

500

10 + 5 x 5 = 75

No. Multiplication comes before addition. So 5x5=25, then 10+25 = 35
