2 + 2 × 4 - 3 × 3 + 2
Use PEMDAS:
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication / Division
Addition / Subtraction
Multiplication/division and addition/subtraction don't go in any particular order, it goes from left to right
2 + 2 × 4 - 3 × 3 + 2
Check if there are parentheses (no), exponents (no), but there is multiplication, so solve all the multiplication from left to right.
2 + (2 × 4) - (3 × 3) + 2
2 + 8 - 9 + 2
Now solve from left to right since the rest is all subtraction.
2 + 8 - 9 + 2 = 3
2 + 2 × 4 - 3 × 3 + 2 = 3
