Okay so if you look at Line1 to Line2, she did subtraction before she did her multiplication and division. This is a violation of the order of operations.
line 1 to line 2 she subtracted instead of following the order of operations.

Brackets/Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication/Division Addition/Subtraction.
So do the operations going down that list.
line 2 - 24/2 -1 + 5 (multiplication) line 3 - 12 - 1 +5 (division) line 4 - 12 +4 (adding) line 5 - 16 (subtracting) so you're answer is 16
