Mathematical operators have the standard precedence: parenthesis (brackets), orders (powers), multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. x + y * z implies x + (y * z) because multiplication has higher precedence than addition. When two operators have the same precedence (such as addition and subtraction), they are evaluated left to right. Thus x - y + z implies (x - y) + z.

Just like is common in algebra, multiplication and division is done before addition and subtraction. This order can be changed with parentheses. For a more complete list, see for example: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/operators.html
