Rewriting your equations so that left-to-right matches the order of operations:
(5+6)*3 – 1 = 11*3 – 1 = 33 – 1 = 32
(3-1)*6 + 5 = 2*6 + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17
*Always* finish the inside of the brackets/parenthesis first. That’s what they mean; “do this part first before anything else”. If you fail to do that, then you are doing wrong math.
