Yup. It always goes in the order of PEDMAS: http://www.mathsisfun.com/operation-order-pemdas.html How Do I Remember It All ... ? PEMDAS ! P Parentheses first E Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.) MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right) AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right) Divide and Multiply rank equally (and go left to right). Add and Subtract rank equally (and go left to right)

OpenStudy (waleed_imtiaz):
