Yeah. I just edited.
In my school, I was taught that we should be using BODMAS the way it is spelt.
I didn't know that DM as well as AS have equal value and should be calculated from left to right.
just wanted to clarify from the gurus here.
thanks.

Just go by sign..

all those terms that have + sign, add them together and all that have -, add them together AND then subtract -s from +s..
Here too we have done exactly that .. 3-3*6+2 = 3+2-3*6 = 5-18 = -13
