Why is it so important to use bedmas in math?

Answer 1

BEDMAS is an acronym to help remember an order of operations in algebra basics. When you have math problems that require the use of different operations (multiplication, division, exponents, brackets, subtraction, addition) order is necessary and mathematicians have agreed on the BEDMAS/PEDMAS order. Each letter of BEDMAS refers to one part of the operation to be used. In math, there is an agreed upon set of prodedures for the order in which your operatioins are performed. You will likely come up with a wrong answer if you perform calculations out of the order. When you follow the correct order, the answer will be correct. Remember to work from left to right as you use the BEDMAS order of operations. Each letter stands for:

• B - Brackets
• Exponents
• Division
• Multiplication
• Addition
• Subtraction
