Remember the memory reminder of BIDMAS which is the order of operations in arithmetic meaning Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.
The rule is to evaluate terms according the following order of priority: In UK it is BIDMAS, an acronym for Brackets, Index, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. In US, it is PEMDAS = Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction order of the mathematical order of operations." Note, that multiplication and division have the same priority; also, addition and subtraction have the same priority.
