Answer 4

the order of operations is important, first brackets, then factors (roots count as factor too), then multiplication (division counts as multiplication too), then adding (subtracting counts as adding too)

Answer 5

in a fraction, brackets are implied, by the way, that's why 14+2 goes before dividing, even though division is before adding normally
