well you er...

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

ok, Ill make an example

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

x^2/3

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

now the variable is unknown in certain instances, and I will not talk of it.

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

yet if you are replacing the variable with a known number, then yes, variables go first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yes the order changes because the varible goes first

@Dbzfan836

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

Im here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Dbzfan836 i think your question is american history or world history

OpenStudy (dbzfan836):

well, It is in 8th grade, and the class is called U.S. History

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Order of operations never changes at all. You still follow the same rules even if the problem has a variable within it.

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

That isn't always true because "( )" Always goes first, just because there is a variable doesn't mean anything Just follow PEMDAS and you shouldn't have any trouble. I hope I helped.
