It is something you use in math to answer questions that have more than one operation and more than two parts of a problem(ex.2+7 you can't use the order of operations for,(5/8)6+7,you can use this though).The way to remember the order is PEMDAS(parenthesis,exponents,multiply,divide,add,subtract)But go left to right when you do multiply/divide and add/subtract

Parentheses
Math can be difficult at times. To simplify a math expression, it is important to follow the order of operations, or PEMDAS.
They are used to change the order in which arithmetic operations are to be carried out.
BEDMAS. Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multipication, Addition, Subtraction.
Because without an agreed upon order, some calculations would yield ambiguous results.
