Order of Operations:
\To simplify the expression follow the order of operations: (PEMDAS).
\1. Evaluate the expressions inside the Parentheses/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 ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=c30cd12c4a25b34a19dcc92d898640a1.png\")
.
First multiplication operation is evaluating expression inside the brackets.
