Seems to be.

I played with using different equations for the second step.
First EQN is yours:

Code:

-R*156.25/(X*1.77951304201-208.333333334)

And then, for example, this as the second equation (using A=1, B=2, C=3):

Code:

-A*2*(B*C-1)+B

It will ask for A, C, and B (in this order), but yields 2805.5617 instead of -8.

If this second equation is run alone, then it asks for A, B, and C (in this order) and correctly returns -8.
Obviously the equations are evaluated from left to right.

Let's change the second equation into this one:

Code:

-A*2*(B*C-1)+(B)

Now it only asks for A and C and yields 2336.6348 (wrong again).

Quite obviously related to the use of parentheses...
