Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Order of Operations
The order of operations is a set of rules that dictates the sequence in which mathematical operations should be performed to ensure consistent results. The acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)) is commonly used to remember this order. Following these rules is crucial for accurately evaluating expressions.
