Well, when it comes to painting a beautiful landscape, we start with the sky, then move on to the mountains, trees, and finally add little details like birds and clouds to bring it all together. Just like that, for the number 35, we follow the order of operations called PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). So, for 35, if there are no parentheses or exponents, you would perform any multiplication or division first, then any addition or subtraction.

There is no order of operation for a single number. And even if there were a binary operator between the 3 and the 5, that would be only one operator and so the question of order would not arise.
"Order of operations" only applies when there are actually operations to be done.
Because if you did operations in an impermissible order, or violated laws of operations, then your solution to the equation is wrong.
Because if you perform the operations in a different order your answer will be wrong.
The order of operations relate to solving multi-step equations because you are following the order of operations just in a backwards way.
The last two operations in P.E.M.D.A.S are 'addition' and 'subtraction'.
No professions use order of operations. It is just a method of solving an equation.
