thanks!

anonymous · Answer

the order of operations is important, first brackets, then factors (roots count as factor too), then multiplication (division counts as multiplication too), then adding (subtracting counts as adding too)

anonymous · Answer

in a fraction, brackets are implied, by the way, that's why 14+2 goes before dividing, even though division is before adding normally
