Common questions
What is the order of operations?
Brackets, exponents, multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction. Multiplication and division go left to right, and so do addition and subtraction.
Is it PEMDAS or BODMAS?
Both name the same order. P and B are brackets; E and O are exponents.
