Order of Operations

The document discusses the order of operations, known as PEMDAS. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. It provides examples of how to evaluate expressions using the proper order of operations. First, complete all operations inside parentheses. Then, perform exponent operations. Follow with multiplication and division from left to right. Finally, do addition and subtraction from left to right. The document emphasizes showing the step-by-step work and justification for each step using PEMDAS.

Order of Operations

PEMDAS
Expression

• Any combination of numbers and


operations (parentheses, exponents,
multiply/divide, and addition/subtraction)
Examples: 2+2

3x6-8+4

(2+4)x8
Evaluating an Expression

• To evaluate an expression- find the


numerical value of an expression using
order of operations
1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiply/Divide
4. Add/Subtract
PEMDAS
• Parentheses- Do all problems in parentheses before like problems
not in parentheses. If there are more than one set of parentheses
do the inner most expression in parentheses and work your way
out.

Example: 45-2x(15-3) Work the parentheses 1st,


15-3 is 12

=45-2x12 Now follow order of operations


from left to right

=45-24 Subtract

=21 The answer is 21!!


PEMDAS
• Exponents- After working the parentheses you will
work the exponents in a problem

Example: 4+(8-6)+22 Work Parentheses 1st

=
4+2+ 22 Now work
Exponents
=
4+2+4 Follow PEMDAS

=10 The answer is 10!


PEMDAS
• Multiply/Divide- perform the multiplication and division
from left to right, whatever comes first.

Example: 42/7(4-3) Parentheses 1st

=42/7(1) Order of Operations from left


to right: Division Next

=6(1) Multiply

=6 The Answer is 6!
PEMDAS
• Addition/Subtraction- perform the addition and subtraction of the
expression from left to right, whatever comes first

Example: 7(5+(13-4)/3)) Parentheses 1st

=7(5+(9)/3)) Division in the


parentheses next

=7(5+3) Parentheses next

=7(8) Multiply

=56 The Answer is 56!


PEMDAS Proof
• This is how you are expected to solve your problems.
On the left side of the line you work your problem and
on the right side of the line you put your justification.

• Example:
Problem: 2+10(8-6)/22 Proof:
=2+10(2)/22 Parenthesis (Subtraction)
=2+10(2)/4 Exponents
=2+20/4 Multiplication
=2+5 Division
=7 Addition
Examples

• 7+2x3
• 8+4x2
• 15/3+12/4
• (56-8)+36/3
• [5(8+2)-46]x10
• 5{7+4-2(7)}
• (72+12)/(35+7)
