Order of Operations

Hoe kunnen we je helpen?

I thought addition came before subtraction. Also, how do you know where to put parentheses when there are none in the equation already? Surprisingly, I think that Order of Operations is one of the hardest things I have learned in math ( I can do way harder math, but not even this!!). I need to understand every single rule about order of operations, so I will not mess up equations a a higher level just because of an order issue.

Hi Bailey,
There is a trick to remember the order of operations it's called PEDMAS and it goes like this
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition /Subtraction

You work left to right. Now not all equations have this for example

(4+4)-(2+2), You would first work in the parentheses then subtract but you wouldn't have to worry about exponent etc.

The following video explains this well

Also the following article shows examples and deeply explains PEDMAS it may be able to help.
