Solve the following equations: 9+3x6-4= 9 + 18 - 4 = 27 - 4 = 23

16 - 14 2 = 16 - 7 = 9

18 - 10 + 6 = 8 + 6= 14

35 - 16

86 - 9 x 9 =

3 + 9 x (15 - 10) =

4=

Order of Operations When you solve a math problem that uses more than one operation ( +, -, x, ÷ ), the answer depends on the order in which you do the operations. You must follow the right order to get the correct answer! To make sure everyone gets the same answer when solving a math problem, we use this order of operations: • Do the operation in Brackets first. • Next, Multiply and Divide, in order, from left to right. • Finally, Add and Subtract, in order, from left to right.
