According to the calculator they have different answers, the first being 32 and the latter being 17. I got the answer 22 when i worked it out.

Calculators have gotten good since I’ve been out of school lol.
PEMDAS: parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. Those must be done in that order.
The first one becomes (11)*3-1, then 33-1, =32
The second becomes 5+6*(2), then 5+12, =17
To get 22, you were doing addition/subtraction before multiplication, which is incorrect order of operations. Effectively, you had done (5+6)*(3-1)
