An algebraic expression is a process for evaluating expressions. Replacing variables with numerals and following a standard order of operations is used for the process.
The various operations within the expression are carried out using the order of operations: BIDMAS (UK) or PEMDAS (US).
I think it is important because you need to know it when you get older.
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally is an often used mnemonic for remember the order of operations.Some people use the acronym PEMDAS.Either way, the order of operations isParentheses, Exponentiation, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction
The order of operations defines, in the absence of parentheses, the order in which binary operations in arithmetic (or algebra) may be carried out. If it were not used, most expressions with more than one kind of operation would have more than one answers. Alternatively, each expression would have to have a parentheses to indicate the Order of Operations and that would make expressions more difficult to read. eg 2+3*5 = 2+15 = 17 (following Order of Ops), but 2+3*5 = 5*5 = 25 (NOT following Order of Ops).

Order of Operations
In Algebraic and even simple mathematical operations, convention to determines the order of calculations. This order is commonly remembered by the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for (and indicates the order of) parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.
Q: What is the rule that states the sequence to be used when evaluating expressions? A: The rule that states the sequence to be used when evaluating expressions is know as the "order of operations."

If you change the order of operations, you will get a different result. The person who wrote the expression had a specific order of operations in mind (using generally-accepted rules), so arbitrarily using some other order of operations is, quite simply, wrong.

They both use PEMDAS or Order of Operation
Expressions with the same numbers and operations can have different meanings due to the use of parentheses and the order of operations. The placement of parentheses can change the grouping of numbers and alter the result of the expression. Additionally, following the rules of the order of operations (PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction) can lead to different outcomes when evaluating expressions with the same numbers and operations.
