Fun fact: this is because most basic calculators don’t follow order or operations and just calculate from left to right.
Best part is with phone calculator apps. In portrait mode, most don’t follow order of operations. In landscape mode with the scientific operations expanded, it does, so you get two different answers depending on what position your phone is in. It’s endlessly confusing.

Tried it one mine, works both ways
Mine too, I wonder where it doesn’t?
Best example I could find. Two phones in portrait and landscape, plus a dedicated scientific calculator.
