Your left-side expression, 1+2×3+4×5+6

PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction, those being the order of precedence.

Your precedences start with Multiplications. Do those first.

1+6+20+6

You next have only Additions, and nothing else. Go strictly from left to right.
7+20+6
27+6
33
