power then multiplication
P.E.M.D.A.S is how i remember it Parentheses Exponent Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction also, whichever comes first in the problem goes first, but this only works with multiplication and division and also addition and subtraction but only multiplication with division and addition with subtraction

It doesn't matter!
Operator precedence (or, "order of operations") comes up in mathematics and computer programming and dictates which operations should be carried out first in evaluating a mathematical expression. The standard precedence used in math, science, and technology is: exponents and roots multiplication and division addition and subtraction Parentheses are also used for clarification or when the above precedence needs to be over-ridden. For example, with an expression line 3 + 2 * 4, you would start with the multiplication of 2 * 4, because multiplication has precedence over addition.
