Parenthesis/Paréntesis

Exponents/Exponentes

Multiplication and Division - left to right Multiplicación y división: de izquierda a derecha (¡por orden de llegada!)

Addition and Subtraction - left to right

Suma y resta: de izquierda a derecha (¡primero en llegar, primero en ser servido!)

In the expression 14/2 * 5,

we would DIVIDE before we MULTIPLY, because we look for multiplication and division at the same time, and solve them in the order we see them, going left to right!

Which operation would you solve first in this expression? (3 * 4) - 2 + 8/8

You would solve multiplication because you solve parenthesis first! :)

Which operation would you solve first in this expression? 3 * (4 - 2) + 8/8

You would solve subtraction first because alway solve the parenthesis first!

Which operation would you solve first in this expression? 3 * 4 - 2 + 8/8

You would solve multiplication first because there are no parenthesis, and no exponents. Next you look for multiplication and division going left to right, and you see MULTIPLICATION first!

Solve this expression: 3 x (4 -1)

3 x (4 - 1)

3 x 3

9 :)

12

4 + 8 * 3 - 1

4 + 24 - 1

28 - 1

27 :)
