The order of operations formalizes the route (the convention) through a mathematical equation. As an example 2+6x2=? gives one answer when the order (Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract) is followed and a wrong answer if it is not. Worked out properly we multiply 6x2 first to get 12 then add 2 to get 14. If we simply do the actions in the order they occur we add 2+6 to get 8 then multiply by 2 to get 16.The complete order of operations is a bit more complicated than used in this example, it is "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and/or Division, and Addition and/or Subtraction".

How do you do a math problem without order of operations?
You do it wrong. With out order of operations, the same math problem could have several different answers. In math, there is only one answer.

Why does math matter in life?
math matters in life because anything you do in life envoles with math if not almost everthiyng in everyday life thats why math matters
What is the Commutitive property of math?
In math, the Commutative Property refers to operations in which the order of the numbers being operated on does not matter. Multiplication and addition are commutative operations, which may be demonstrated by the algebraic equations "ab = ba" and "a + b = b + a", respectively.
