    How to solve them

    1. Brackets first, then powers.
    2. Then × and ÷ together, left to right; then + and − together, left to right.
    3. −3² means −(3²) = −9. The power happens before the minus.

    New to this? The short lesson on it has the rules in one place.

    Check the key only once you've finished. A wrong answer is useful: find the first line where your working went wrong, fix that, and redo the problem.
