Question

So im trying to figure out how I got 320 for 4×4+4×4+4-4×4 when the answer is 20

Answer 1

You can simplify it to begin with. ie there are two plus 4 and one minus 4, so just one plus 4 remains

Answer 2

Look at the arithmetic operators within the expression 4×4+4×4+4-4×4.
You'll see both addition (+) and multiplication (×). "Order of operations" rules require that you multiply BEFORE you add.

Thus, 4*4=16 is done BEFORE 4*4 + 4*4.

4×4+4×4+4-4×4 becomes:

16 + 16 + 4 - 16, or
32 +4 -16, or 36-16, or 20.

Answer 3

you have to use the BODMAS rule..
so according to this first you have to solve all the multiplications then additions then sub...
4×4+4×4+4-4×4
16+16+4-16
=20
