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 \"\".

\

Simplify the expression using order of operations (PEMDAS)

\

Since there are grouping symbols and powers,

\

The first operation is evaluate the expression within the parenthesis.

\

\"\"            (Evaluate powers: \"\")

\

\"\"               (Multiply: \"\")

\

\"\"                          (Apply additive invrese property: \"\")\"\"

\

Next operation is multiplication.

\

= \"\"                                  (Multiply: \"\")

\

Next operation is addition.

\

= \"\"                                         (Apply additive identity property: \"\")\"\"

\

The value of the expression is \"\".
