Order of Operations (PEMDAS):
\To simplify the expression follow the order of operations:
\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 ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=4237b0f03124b4b5e9d51fc22336ea13.png\")
In the given expression there are no grouping symbols. So, next operation is multiplication.
\![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=1c31aae400991dc839ea6e9053998042.png\")
(Multiply:![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=d4f55d66c7acb48ef767a33d21ac8e59.png\")
)![\"\"](\"/userfiles/image/steps_images/step2.JPG\")
Next operation is division.
\![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=b2d202faac0f2658fd141425a56f8983.png\")
(Divide:![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=401a937668a78a818e9fdafd40d9698d.png\")
)![\"\"](\"/userfiles/image/steps_images/solution.JPG\")
The value of the expression is 6.
