It is BIDMAS (UK) or PEMDAS (US). Not sure about other countries.
BIDMAS = Brackets, Index, Division or Multiplication, Addition or Subtraction.
PEMDAS = Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication or Division, Addition or Subtraction.

Replace the variables with the correct values and calculate using the order of operations
Yes, unless all of the operations are additions, or all of them are multiplication. Otherwise, changing the order will change the result. The order of operations is determined by parentheses, or if none are present, by the PEDMAS sequence.The order in which mathematical operations must be done has the acronym PEDMAS or PEMDAS. PEDMAS or PEMDAS, no matter how you spell it, gives the correct order for mathematical operations: 1. P - Parentheses, 2. E - Exponents, MD - Multiplication and Division, AS - Addition and Subtraction.
yes
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.
