Order of Operations Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
Please Parentheses Excuse Exponents My Dear Mulitiplication and Division from left to right Aunt Sally Add and Subtract from left to right
Solving 3 + (4 * 5) / 2 Please Parentheses 3 + (4 * 5) / 2 The 4 * 5 is in parentheses, so this gets done first. 4 * 5 = 20 Our equation simplifies to 3 + 20 / 2
Solving 3 + (4 * 5) / 2 3 + 20 / 2 Excuse Exponents There are no exponents, so we go on.
Solving 3 + (4 * 5) / 2 3 + 20 / 2 My Dear Mulitiplication and Division from left to right 20 / 2 = 10 Our equation simplifies to 3 + 10
Solving 3 + (4 * 5) / 2 3 + 20 / 2 3 + 10 Aunt Sally Add and Subtract from left to right 3 + 10 13
Solving 3 + (4 * 5) / 2 3 + 20 / 2 3 + 10 13 13 is the final answer!
Use the order of operations to solve: 10 + 32 * (8 – 3) + 7
Solving 10 + 32 * (8 – 3) + 7 Please Parentheses 8 – 3 = 5 Our equation simplifies to 10 + 32 * 5 + 7
Solving 10 + 32 * (8 – 3) + 7 10 + 32 * 5 + 7 Excuse Exponents 32 = 9 Our equation simplifies to 10 + 9 * 5 + 7
Solving 10 + 32 * (8 – 3) + 7 10 + 32 * 5 + 7 10 + 9 * 5 + 7 My Dear Mulitiplication and Division from left to right 9 * 5 = 45 Our equation simplifies to 10 + 45 + 7
