Many expressions involve two or more operations. When simplifying such expressions, it is important to perform the operations in the following order:
1. Perform any operation(s) within group symbols, which are:
a. parentheses ( )
b. brackets [ ]
c. braces { }
d. fraction bar /
e. absolute-values bar | |
f. radical sign
2. Simplify all powers.
3. Multiply and divide in order from left to right.
4. Add and subtract in order from left to right.
If you don't follow this order of operations, you will find a wrong answer.

Why do you have to use order of operations for every problem?
Because if you perform the operations in a different order your answer will be wrong.
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.
What do order of operations means explain?
Order of Operations is like when you have a problem i always use PEMDAS it means parenthesis, expoents, mulitipication, divide, addition, Subtraction follow it.
What is a set of instructions for solving a specific problem in a limited number of steps?
order of operations
How do you know when to solve a math problem from left to right and when to use order of operations?
divide
In an order of operations problem if there is a parentheses do the order of operations rules apply in the parentheses?
yes
Why do you have to use the order of operations?
We have to use the order of operations so everyone solves a problem the same.
Why do you have to use order of operations for every problem?

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.
If you are doing an order of operations problem do you evaluate the square root first or an exponent?
They can be performed in either order.

How do you know when to solve a math problem from left to right and when to use order of operations?
divide
Is the distributive property the same thing as the order of operations?
no it's actually totally different. the distributive property divides up the problem and solves it. and it can answer problems that order of operations sometimes can't. just because you get the same answer doesn't make them the same problem.
What if there is a remainder when doing order of operations?
it is ok in some occasains but you might want to retry the problem
What is a special set of rules that gives the order in which calculations a done to solve a problem?
what is a special set of rules that gives the order in which calculations are done to solve a problem
When the problem is in parenthesis do you use the order of operations to find a solution?
Yes, and parenthesis are the first thing you solve.
