You're definitely not a math major.

Nope. equal operations require you to solve left to right. Multiplication is inverse of division thus = in operation. So you divide then multiply. No because division has a high operation but because it comes from the left first. It's like when we read in english. It's "to the store we go" not "go we store the to".

You go from left to right if it is division and multiplication. Same with subtraction and addition.
