MDAS (Multiplication,Division,Addition, and Subtraction) Should go in this order: M/D goes first, A/S comes last. In this case:

=14 * 2 - 3 + 2 * 2
=28 - 3 + 4
=29

unkempt pivot
#

I use PEDMAS

#

(parentheses, exponents, mult, div, add,sub)

#

mult/div and add/sub should be together though

#

those are left to right

#

so when you see a problem, look for parentheses

#

for example (1 + 2) * 3^2 + 18 * 8 / 2

#

we see the parens, and we know to do those first

#

so now its 3 * 3^2 + 18 * 8 / 2

#

^2 is an exponent, so we do that next

#

3^2 = 3 * 3 = 9

#

so 3 * 9 + 18 * 8 / 2

#

now its all mult/div and add/sub

#

do all the mult/div first left to right

#

27 + 18 * 8 / 2

#

27 + 144 / 2

#

27 + 72

#

99

#

I hope that helped!

#

just to show:

#

another tip, if your ever confused, you can just paste it into google and they will format it for you

#

you can see the exact process I used

#
