PEMDAS is simple! Just remember these steps… PEMDASPEMDAS arentheses 2 (6+2) =2+8 xponents = ultiplication =3+6 ivision ÷5 =10-4 ddition =11-2 ubtraction =12+2
But there’s a twist! If you see Multiplication and Division in the same expression, you solve it left to right. Same for Addition and Subtraction 3∙4÷2 = 12÷2 = = 12-5 = 7
Lets do an example! Lets solve this expression step by step… 32+(4 ÷2) -3 2 First we solve what's in Parentheses. And in the parentheses we solve the exponents first. 32+(16÷2) -3 Now we do the division within the parentheses Now we do the multiplication Finally we do the addition and subtraction from left to right 11
