False. When solving algebraic expressions, you must follow the order of operations, which is often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)). This means you do not simply work from left to right; you have to address parentheses and exponents first, followed by multiplication and division (from left to right), and finally, addition and subtraction (from left to right).
Always solve an algebraic expression by working from left to right. Is this true or false?
