If you are using Bodmas then
Brackets (parts of a calculation inside brackets always come first).
Orders (numbers involving powers or square roots).
Division.
Multiplication.
Addition.
Subtraction.
So the sum would be: 3x6+4= (as multiplication comes before addition.) so the answer is 22.Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.0 -

I'm no math genius but I agree with 42 as the answer (I think MsDee's theory only applies if any sums are in brackets?).

Answer is 22
4+3x6 = 22 because it is evaluated as 4+(3x6)
See this extract from Excel (note there are no brackets in the formula):
See also the first example on https://www.skillsyouneed.com/num/bodmas.html where the answer is NOT 690
