Knowing the order of operations is important here

Answer 4

Winston, do you know the correct order of operations ?

I'll help you out it's either a or c (;

Answer 10

but, in order of operations, Divide comes before multiply.

Answer 11

Thank you! The wording is confusing.. lol

Answer 12

Complexity can often be broken down into segments relatively simpler. :)

Answer 13

multiplication and division are at the same precedence. You would do them left to right

Answer 14

I think this question is as clear as mud.

The product of three and six more than a number

People (sometimes) write this way, but it can be legitimately interpreted a number of ways.
product of 3 and 6 is 18, so maybe they mean 18 more than a number.

or 3 and 6 more than a number might mean (3+x) and (6+x)
the first is 3 more than a number x and the second is 6 more than the number x

However, they mean 3 * (6+x)
The only way you really know this is you see a bunch of questions that ask the same (lousy) question
