parentheses
Grouping symbols are symbols such as parentheses or brackets, that indicate that the operations within them should be done first. When an expression contains more than one pair of grouping symbols, the computations in the innermost grouping should be done first.
Evaluate the innermost grouping symbol first and make your way outwards.
There is no known origin of the order of operations or PEMDAS. PEMDAS is considered as the proper way to tackle a given mathematical expression in terms of what operation should be performed first.
Parenthesis are grouping symbols () as well as brackets [] and braces {}. These symbols are used specifically to denote that the operation in the parenthesis should be completed first. This is to avoid confusion and incorrect answers by using the standard order of operations: Multiply and Divide, Add and Subtract.

Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "times".
We'll answer this generally, since you haven't provided an expression. A common technique for remembering the order of operations is the abbreviation "PEMDAS", which is turned into the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". It stands for "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction".
Sting operations should continue because they are good for a community. Sting operations catch people that are trying to get away with illegal acts.
You replace each variable by its value. Then you do the indicated calculations.
subtract 7 from 21
Expressions within parenthases (brackets) should be done first. Then each operation should be done in turn from left to right. Therefore 4+7x(5+4) would be 4+7x9 and then 11x9 =99.
That would be a bad decision seeing that we occupy and have military operations/in our allied (oversea) countries. The us military has operations in almost every country on the planet.
