A standard order of operations lets you know which part of the equation gets calculated first. Without a standard order, someone might calculate 2 + 3 * 4 differently from 4 * 3 + 2, getting 20 in the first case and 14 in the second (by the way, 14 is the correct answer for both by the commonly accepted order of operations).

When do you use order of operations?
You use order of operations in equations that have more than one type of operation going on (for example, an equation with parenthesis, addition, and multiplication). You would use order of operations in equations like that so you know which operation to do first.
What is the order of operation for 27?
There is no operation for a single number and so there can be no order of operation.
Why is it not necessary to use brackets in order of operation math?
It is necessary to use brackets, depending on the order of operation: BODMAS. Brackets are done first, then power and square roots, then division and multiplication (left to right), then addition and subtraction (left to right). Get is wrong and the answer will also be wrong!
How do you decide what operation you use to solve a problem?
Use BIDMAS meaning order of operations are brackets, indices, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction
