Example 1: Addition and Multiplication

Perform the following operations
- 6 × 1 + - 4

Do the multiplication first before doing the addition

  = - 6 + - 4
  = - 10
The answer is - 10.


Example 2: Subtraction and Division

Perform the following operations
15 ÷ 3 - - 1

Do the division before the subtraction
15 ÷ 3 - - 1 = 15 ÷ 3 - - 1

The answer is 6.
