We need to calculate what is the value of x

[darkberk]

Structure of wh sentences when they're in question form but inside a non-question sentence.

I know how wh sentences are structured when you're asking questions with them. V + S
like for example:
where is the bank?
who made this house?
how is your mom? etc..

And also I know that when you're using them in simple sentences they follow S + V structure
For example:
That is how she met your father
That is what she did yesterday
I know a man who is really good at that

But what happens when you're using them in a question way but inside a normal sentence that isn't really a question? This happens a lot in math, which I do daily so I wanted to get this clear.

In particular I would like to know which of the sentences below is the correct one:
-We need to calculate what is the value of x
-We need to calculate what the value of x is

Other examples:
-We need to find out where is cassie located
-We need to find out where cassie is located

-You need to tell me what is your name
-You need to tell me what your name is

-The first thing you need to be worried about is how are your children doing
-The first thing you need to be worried about is how your children are doing

My question is about the structure of wh- sentences when they're in question form but inside a non-question sentence.

I know how wh- sentences are structured when you're asking questions with them. V + S, like for example:
Where is the bank?
Who made this house?
How is your mom? etc..

And Also, I know that when you're using them in simple sentences they a follow S + V structure.
For example:
That is how she met your father.
That is what she did yesterday.
I know a man who is really good at that.

But What happens when you're using them in a questioning way but inside a normal sentence that isn't really a question? This happens a lot in math, which I do daily so I wanted to get this clear.

In particular, I would like to know which of the sentences below is the correct one:

-We need to calculate what is the value of x.
-We need to calculate what the value of x is.

Other examples:
-We need to find out where is Cassie located.
-We need to find out where Cassie is located.

-You need to tell me what is your name.
-You need to tell me what your name is.

-The first thing you need to be worried about is how are your children doing.
-The first thing you need to be worried about is how your children are doing.

Please note my corrections above. You must remember to start every new sentence with a capital letter and end every sentence with an appropriate punctuation mark.

As you can see from my markings above, the correct construction is the second in each of the four examples.

Jutfrank has given you the more natural version of one of your examples. I'd like to add two more:

We need to find out where Cassie is.
You need to tell me your name.
