Yeah, thats the part we had all forgotten. After placing the braces....Where u have the 'of' word, mul the 2 numbers, then for div sign, get the result of division, then for X sign,  get the result of the mul, then u will have a string of numbers with + and - signs btwn them [for lack of the correct term!]

Then still follow BODMA(ddition)S(ubtraction), re-arrange the numbers starting with + then -. So our solution for 22+32 - 21+15+5 would be

22+32+15+5-21 >> 74 - 21 >> 53!  BODMAS BODMAS, thou art!!

OR.

Following BODMAS rule,

Do any number that has + operator then any number that has - operator.
Addition then Subtration. AS rule.
