The correct order of operations is typically remembered using the acronym PEMDAS:
- Parentheses (or Brackets)
- Exponents (or Powers)
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
So the correct order is:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction
Make sure to perform multiplication and division as they appear from left to right, and do the same for addition and subtraction.
