Term
(9-3) *7
Definition

42

Because "9-3" is in parenthesis, that operation is performed before the multiplication.

Term
9-3*7
Definition

-12

Order of operation performs multiplication before division, therefore we evaluate 9-21 to get a -12.

Term
4+8/2
Definition

8

Division before addition:  4+4=8

Term
(4+8)/2
Definition

6

Parenthesis before division.

This can also be can be symbolized with a vertical alignment of the numerator and denominator.

Term
[3-(5-2)]*2
Definition

0

Order of operation will perform the mathematical argument in the "inner" grouping sets. 

(5-2) =3

[3-3]=0

0*2=0

Thats my "final answer"

Term
[3-5+3]*2
Definition

2

Inside the brackets since subtaction/addition are performed left to right, we have

3-5+3=1

1*2=2

Term
(3-5)-2*2
Definition

-6

Order of operation would simplify parenthesis first.  We take (3-5)

to give us

-2-2*2

 

Order of operation would then multiply 2*2 to give us -2-4 to give us -6
