Study Notes

Order of Operations

Definition

The Order of Operations is a set of rules used to evaluate mathematical expressions in the correct order.

Acronym

The acronym PEMDAS is commonly used to remember the correct order:

Parentheses: Evaluate expressions inside parentheses first.
Exponents: Evaluate any exponential expressions next (e.g., 2^3).
Multiplication and Division: Evaluate from left to right.
Addition and Subtraction: Evaluate from left to right.

Examples

2 × 3 + 10 - 5 = ?
- Evaluate multiplication and division (from left to right): 2 × 3 = 6
- Evaluate addition and subtraction (from left to right): 6 + 10 = 16, 16 - 5 = 11
- Final answer: 11
10 - 3 + 2 × 4 = ?
- Evaluate multiplication and division (from left to right): 2 × 4 = 8
- Evaluate addition and subtraction (from left to right): 10 - 3 = 7, 7 + 8 = 15
- Final answer: 15
