What is PEMDAS?

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply OR Divide LEFT to RIGHT, Add OR subtract LEFT to Right.

100

9 - 3 x 2=12

Correct answer is 3. Do x then -, not - then x.

100

3 + 4 x 5

23

100

14 - 2 x 7

0

100

2 + {36 ÷ (3 x 2)}

Why is it important to know PEMDAS as a mathematician?

So everyone can solve every problem the same (correct) way.

200

5 x 5 + (14 - 3 x 2) = 47

You need to multiply 3 x 2 which is 6. Then subtract from 14.

Then multiply 5 x 5 which is 25. 

Then take 25 + 8 = 33

200

7 + (2 x 4) - 1

14

200

49 ÷ (3+4) + 5 x 5

32

200
{36 ÷ (5 - 3 + 4)} ÷ 2 

3

300

What would I solve first? 


Parentheses ...so  7 + 5

300

6 - 4 + 3 x 5 - 5 = 25

Need to multiply first so:

6-4 + 3 x 5 - 5 =

6 - 4 + 15 - 5 =

2 + 15 - 5 =

17 - 5 =

12


300

56 ÷ (4+4) + 3 x 3

16

300

5 + 14 ÷ 2 × 5

40

300

{ ( 9 - 2) x (2 + 1)} ÷ (2/8 + 3/4) 

21

400

What step would you do second?


Divide by 2
400

4 + 5 + 7 - 3 x 2 = 26

You need to follow PEMDAS and do x first. Correct answer is 10.

400

20 – (5+3) x 2 + 4

8

400

(4-1) x 2  + (5+ 1) x 2

What is net income? 

Net income is the gross income minus taxes and deductions. (It is what I take home)

500

The problem was 20 - 5 x 2 + 3. My answer was 33. What did I do wrong?

I went from left to right without using the correct order of operations.

500

30 - 6 + 4+ (8 + 2 x 5) = 88

30 - 6 + (8 + 2 x 5) =

30 - 6 + (8 + 10)

30 - 6 + 18

24 + 18

42

500

(5 x 4) – 6 ÷ 2 + 9

26

500

12 + 22 x 32 - 42

1 x 1 + 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 - 4 x 4
