August 24th(A) and 25th(B)

Review #3 (1.3) ORDER OF OPERATIONS

Remember that ORDER does matter!

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally...

What does that mean?
1st - P = Parenthesis; grouping symbols such as parenthesis, brackets, fraction bar and absolute value.
2nd - E = Exponents
3rd - M = Multiplication
3rd - D = Division
5th - A = Addition
5th - S = Subtraction

In other words: PEMDAS must be the order that is followed.

Remember that Multiplication and Division happen at the same time; whichever comes first, from left to right. Remember that Addition and Subtraction happen at the same time; whichever of the two comes first, from left to right.
