Why is it important to apply order of operations when evaluating expressions?
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.
What careers use order of operations?
Well honey, any career that involves math or problem-solving will use the order of operations. So, if you're into being a mathematician, engineer, scientist, or even a financial analyst, better brush up on those PEMDAS rules. Otherwise, you'll be more lost than a sock in the dryer.
