Order of Operations



The order of operations are PEMDAS. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. This means that you have to do whatever is in the parentheses first then exponents, multiplication/division then add or subtract.

Ex. (3+2)+4•2=
(3+2)+4•2=
(3+2)+4•2=
You would add 3+2 first (5), then multiply 4•2 (8), then add 5+8 which is 13.
