Order of Operations:

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

1. Evaluate the expressions inside the Parenthesis/Brackets (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 of operations is turned

into phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunty Sally"

$\"\"$

The expression is $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$ (Replace a with -5, b with 0.25 and d with 4)

Simplify the expression esing order of operations (PEMDAS)

First operation is evaluating the expression within the parentheses.

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ )

$\"\"$ (Evaluate power: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

Next operation is multiplication.

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ )

Next operation is subtraction.

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

$\"\"$

The value is $\"\"$ .
