Karen Richards,
The method of solving equations hasn't changed in centuries.
Those PROPERLY solving these equations in 1950 would have arrived at the same solutions as we do today.

Grace Scott, You always complete any division and multiplication questions first from left to right. Then you complete the questions for addition and subtraction from left to right. The answer is 65.

BODMAS, Watch 8 / 8 =1, 8x8 = 64, the end 8 and the first 8 cancel one another (Zero) = 64+1 = 65.

I don't agree with the answer to 8+8÷8+8×8-8
8+8=16
16÷8=2
2+8=10
10×8=80
80-8=72
