Explanation:

7.)

13 - 24 / (8 - 2) × 1³

brackets first

13 - 24 / (6) × 1³

exponents next

13 - 24 / 6 × 1

dot operations (division, multiplications) next

13 - 24 / 6 × 1 = 13 - 24×1/6 = 13 - 24/6 = 13 - 4

dash operations (adding, subtracting) last

13 - 4 = 9

8.)

-81/9×4 + 8²

no brackets, so exponents first

-81/9×4 + 64

dot operations next (often best is going left to right, but the sequence actually does not matter; e.g. -81/9×4 = -81×4/9).

-81/9×4 + 64 = -9×4 + 64 = -36 + 64

dash operations last (again, sequence does not matter, if you handle all signs correctly, but in case of doubt just go left to right).

-36 + 64 = 28
