I'm terrible at maths...they could have added some parenthesis there for clarity.  ???
12. There are none needed. You evaluate multiplication first, then addition. It boils down to three rows of four ones (If you want to simplify it for yourself) with addition being the only operator, that gives rows*columns = 3*4 = 12.

I bow deeply to the great Asmathean!

 JJ is messing with us.

The universally accepted order of operations goes like this. ......Bracket, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract. The exception to this order is when an exponent occurs within the bracket then the exponent is dealt with before solving the bracket.  The english language mnemonic for MDAS is; "My Dear Aunt Sally".

Where no brackets (parenthesis) occurs in the example, we are instructed to add all the first eleven digits for a sum of eleven. The twelveth digit is multiplied by zero.  That kills that digit because any number multiplied by zero is zero. Now add the last digit (one) for a sum of 12 which is the correct answer if taken as displayed here.

Now! If the first eleven digits had been enclosed by a bracket and then multiplied by zero the result is zero and the only thing left is the last number one. ...Therefore the answer would be ONE.

Uh... Division is multiplication and substraction is addition. In an evaluation tree, brackets define subtrees that have to be evaluated before their root regardless of what that root is, other than that, you evaluate exponents, multiply and then add.

I was always taught BODMAS.... Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication,  Addition,  Subtraction. So I would divide before multiplying which is different to your mdas.  ???

well having googled this I have learned something that I never appreciated before.  10-3+2 is actually 7 and not 5 as you think of the -3 as really adding negative 3.

I was walking across a bridge the other day and saw a man about to jump.
I said, 'Stop! Don't do it.'
'Why shouldn't I?' he asked.
'Well, are you a Christian?' I asked.
He said: 'Yes.'
I said, 'Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?'
'Protestant'.
'Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?'
'Baptist.'
'Wow! Me too. Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?'
'Baptist Church of God.'
'Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?'
'I'm Reformed Baptist Church of God.'
'Amazing. Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?
He said, 'Reformation of 1915.'
I said, 'Die, heretic scum,' and pushed him off the bridge....
