Can't help you buddy. Math hates me almost as much as I hate it. We try to keep our distance from one another as generous as possible.

5 - 0,5 = 4,5
4,5 x 0.22 = 0,99 ???

Easy, if the question is- Its (5-0.5)x0.22=?

You do the parenthesis first- which equals 4.5 and then multiply it by 0.22. Therefore the answer would be 0.99. So, the people who posted above me are right.

So, remember, when doing order of operations: BEDMAS.

B-Brackets
E-Exponents
D-Division
M-Multiplication
A-Adding
S-Subtraction

But, division and multiplication could be switched around, which ever comes first on the page. Same with adding and subtracting.

(a + b) = (b + a)
(a - b) = -1x(b - a)
(a + b)² = (a² + 2ab + b²)
(a - b)² = (a² - 2ab + b²)
(a - b)x(a + b) = a² - b²

If you have a calculator, you might find it easy to turn fractions into float-point decimal values instead. For instance, if you have an equation that looks like 5/6x - 22x = 3, then you can always turn that into 0.83x - 22x = 3 (note: 0.8 is followed by an infinite number of 3's, so just put an overline on top of the 3 to indicate the float value repeats infinitely). So, just subtract 22x from that, and end up with -21.166666...X = 3. So divide both sides with -21.166666..., and get your happy results. Teachers don't seem to appreciate using tons of decimals, but if you can keep those "overlines", it's not faulty in any ways.

All the schools I've been in used

P-Perenthesis
E-Exponents
M-Multiplication
D-Division
A-Addition

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

...right...
Anyway, it's not that simple for me anymore, 'cause I'm a C programmer. Here is my order of operations list.
Brackets, parenthesis, members, member indirection, postincrement, postdecrement
preincrement, predecrement, sizeof, address of, pointer indirection, positive, negative, bitwise NOT, logical NOT
typecasting
Multiplication,division,division remainder
addition,subtraction
bitwise shift left, bitwise shift right
less than,greater than, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to
equal, not equal
bitwise AND
bitwise XOR
bitwise OR
logical AND
logical OR
inline conditional
assignment
sequential evaluation


Needless to say, for the most part I just use a lot of parentheiss...

Ok, WetWired, you're helping me with my PreCalculus next semester... if I need help. Oh, and Physics.

Sorry, I've hardly used anything past Algebra since I learned it, so I'm afraid I won't be of much use to you. I took all the way to Calculus, but I'd definately need a refresher before I could help anyone with it.
