What is the meaning of parenthesis in the Order of Operations?
400
For multiplication/division: If both numbers are positive or negative, the product or quotient will be positive. If one number is not positive and the other is, the product or quotient will be negative. For addition/subtraction: If both numbers are positive or negative, the sum or difference will be on the same side of zero as the numbers. If the numbers are different from one another, and the negative number is farther from 0 than the positive, the number will be negative. If the numbers are different from one another, and the negative number is closer to 0 than the positive, the number will be positive.
