PEMDAS
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
P is for parenthesis first...do whats inside them first
E is for exponents next.
M and D are together and they stand for multiply and divide...you do these before addition and subtraction and you do these from left to right.
A is for addition and S is for subtraction. You should do these from left to right. for good habit.
