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 ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=d4e3682ab954c6ffb96f79d17f5cf24b.png\")
.
![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=7f51a1745e621ca6312a0cf4c41dec77.png\")
(Replace a, b and c with 6, 10 and 3 in given expression)![\"\"](\"/userfiles/image/steps_images/step2.JPG\")
First evaluate the expression within the parenthesis. \ \
\![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=76e79201eb5eb8395d661bd0194435b3.png\")
(Add: 10 + 3 = 13)
Next operation is multiplication.
\![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=146b4d2000444a106071650dd0ab8724.png\")
(Multiply: ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=3aba6372f68630ef7e1020b7aee9e9af.png\")
)
Next operation is subtraction.
\= 5 (Subtract: ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=abdf0ef9a0e0d293999159137407e1eb.png\")
)![\"\"](\"/userfiles/image/steps_images/solution.JPG\")
The value of the expression is 5. \ \
