Why is it important to know PEMDAS as a mathematican?

So everyone solve a problem the same (correct) way.

Step by Step

100

The first step of the following problem:

7 x 2 x ( 6 - 2 )

Parentheses: 6-2

200

After simplifying the parentheses, what's the 2nd step?

(13 + 4 ) + 10 ÷ 5

Divide: 10 ÷ 5 

300

What is the second step?

(12 +24 ) ÷ ( 0 + 3 ) + 2²

After completing the parentheses, simplify the exponent.

400

What's the second step? How do you know?

8 ÷ (10 - 2 ) x 2

You need to follow PEMDAS and simplify the operations left to right. After the parentheses, division would be next. 

500

What's the 3rd step?

(20 + 5 ) x 12 + 6

Add 6 to the product of 25 and 12

Solve it

100

3 + 4 x 5
