Study Notes

BODMAS is an acronym for the order of operations in mathematics.
It stands for Brackets, Order of powers or roots, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.
BODMAS helps to simplify arithmetic expressions with multiple operators.
Numbers and operators are the two components of an arithmetic expression.
Operators include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
BODMAS is used to solve expressions with multiple operators by following a specific order of operations.
The order of operations is brackets, powers or roots, division or multiplication (whichever comes first from the left), and then subtraction or addition (whichever comes on the left).
BODMAS always results in the correct answer when followed correctly.
Simplification of terms inside brackets can be done directly.
Multiple brackets of the same type can be solved simultaneously.
