Caveat instructor.  In the last workshop I gave, I learned that
that is actually fairly ambiguous.

At least two or three participants concluded that

        10 + 6 - 9

yields 13: nine minus six plus ten.

Fair enough, I'd say, given that R->L prescription.  I'll be certainly
more cautious/explicit when doing the next workshop.
