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
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
alright bye @daring rain
Bye!
