order of operations: 50+(20*50)+20=1070 = RIGHT
linear: ((50+20) * 50) + 20 = 4520 = WRONG
do the multiplication first
then the addition
To add to this, has anyone had a question that was not in a W + X * Y + Z format? I've had the same format every single time (20+) so it might just be easier to tell people X * Y + W + Z.
