Practice evaluating expressions with multiple operations, following the correct order of operations.
When an expression has several operations, follow this order: brackets first, then division and multiplication (left to right), then addition and subtraction (left to right).
Evaluate: 12 + 6 ÷ 2 − 3
6 ÷ 2 = 3 first, then 12 + 3 − 3 = 12
Evaluate: (8 + 4) × 2 − 5
Brackets first: 8+4=12, then 12 × 2 = 24, then 24 − 5 = 19
When an expression has nested or multiple brackets, work from the innermost bracket outward, simplifying step by step.
Evaluate: 2 × (3 + (4 − 1))
Inner bracket first: 4−1=3, then 3+3=6, then 2×6=12
Evaluate: (10 − 4) × (3 + 2)
10−4=6, 3+2=5, then 6×5=30
1. Evaluate: 15 − 3 × 4 + 2
2. Evaluate: (6 + 2) × 3 − 4
3. Evaluate: 20 ÷ (2 + 2) + 5
4. Evaluate: 3 × (4 + (6 − 2))
5. Evaluate: (9 − 3) × (5 − 2)
