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 \"\".

\

Simplify the expression using order of operations (PEMDAS)

\

First operation is Evaluate the expressions within the Parenthesis.

\

\"\"                 (Substitution: \"\")

\

\"\"                         (Subtitution: \"\")

\

\"\"                             (Multiplicative identity property: \"\")

\

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

\

\"\"                                          (Substitution: \"\")\"\"

\

The value of the expression is 3.
