In the United States, the acronym PEMDAS is common. It stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. PEMDAS is often expanded to the mnemonic "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". This explains the order of operations. With no brackets, exponents are resolved first, then multiplication and division from left to right, then addition and subtraction from left to right.
