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.

Fix my Mistake

100

9 - 3 x 2=12

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

200

5 x 5 + 1=11

5 x 5 = 25, Correct Answer is 26.

300

3 x 3  - 6 = 0

3 x 3 = 9, not 6. Correct answer is 3

400

4 + 5 + 7 - 3 x 2 = 26

You need to follow PEMDAS and do x first. Correct answer is 10.

500

10 x 10 x 10  = 30

10 x 10 x 10,  is 1000, not 30.
