use the order of operations to

evaluate expressions.
Objective
The student will be able to:
Designed by Skip Tyler, Varina High School
Evaluate 7 + 4 3.
Is your answer 33 or 19?
You can get 2 different answers
depending on which operation you
did first. We want everyone to get
the same answer so we must follow
the order of operations.

Remember the phrase
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
or PEMDAS.
ORDER OF OPERATIONS
1. Parentheses - ( ) or [ ]
2. Exponents or Powers
3. Multiply and Divide (from left to right)
4. Add and Subtract (from left to right)
Once again, evaluate 7 + 4 3
and use the order of operations.
= 7 + 12 (Multiply.)
= 19 (Add.)
Example #1

14 7 2 - 3
= 2 2 - 3 (Divide l/r.)
= 4 - 3 (Multiply.)
= 1 (Subtract.)
Example #2

3(3 + 7)
2
5
= 3(10)
2
5 (parentheses)
= 3(100) 5 (exponents)
= 300 5 (multiplication)
= 60 (division)
Example #3
20 - 3 6 + 10
2
+ (6 + 1) 4
= 20 - 3 6 + 10
2
+ (7) 4 (parentheses)
= 20 - 3 6 + 100 + (7) 4 (exponents)
= 20 - 18 + 100 + (7) 4 (Multiply l/r.)
= 20 - 18 + 100 + 28 (Multiply l/r.)
= 2 + 100 + 28 (Subtract l/r.)
= 102 + 28 (Add l/r.)
= 130 (Add.)

1. substitute the given numbers for each
variable.
2. use order of operations to solve.
Evaluating a Variable Expression
To evaluate a variable expression:
Example # 4
n + (13 - n) 5 for n = 8
= 8 + (13 - 8) 5 (Substitute.)
= 8 + 5 5 (parentheses)
= 8 + 1 (Divide l/r.)
= 9 (Add l/r.)
Example # 5
8y - 3x
2
+ 2n for x = 5, y = 2, n =3
= 8 2 - 3 5
2
+ 2 3 (Substitute.)
= 8 2 - 3 25 + 2 3 (exponents)
= 16 - 3 25 + 2 3 (Multiply l/r.)
= 16 - 75 + 2 3 (Multiply l/r.)
= 16 - 75 + 6 (Multiply l/r.)
= -59 + 6 (Subtract l/r.)
= -53 (Add l/r.)
