Order of operations crosswords with every step a whole number

Each clue mixes three or four operations — (54 + 49) × 4, 687 + 681 × 11 − 992 — in order of operations. Every clue is built backwards from its answer, so no step of the working is ever negative or a fraction, and the crossings check the result.
