The expression is \"\"

\

To simplify the expression follow the order of operations: (PEMDAS)

\

1.     Evaluate the expressions inside Brackets/Parenthesis (P).

\

2.     Evaluate Powers/Exponents (E).

\

3.     Multiply and/or Divide in order from left to right (MD).

\

4.     Add and/or Subtract in order from left to right (AS).

\

A simple technique for remembering the order pf operations is turned into phrase

\

Please Excuse My Dear Aunty Sally”\"\"

\

First operation is Division.

\

\"\"                   (Division property\"\")

\

Next operation is Subtraction.

\

\"\"                        (Additive inverse property: \"\")\"\"

\

Next operation is Multiplication. 

\

\"\"                              (Multiplicative property of zero: \"\")

\

Next operation is Multiplication.

\

\"\"                                    (Multiplicative inverse: \"\")

\

Next operation is Addition.

\

\"\"                                          (Additive identity property: \"\") \"\" 

\

The value of expression is 1.
