for example, if it was 8(5-3x4/6) i have to simplify the number inside the bracket. do i do it from left to right, or do i do the multiplication and division before the subtracting?
Think of the brackets as its own equation. You do the order of operations inside there then work your way outside. The answer to that problem would be 24
always do it in oder of operations, even inside brackets. Using P.E.M.D.A.S
Order of op states parentheses first left to right. I am pretty sure. Just look up on google my dear aunt sally math thing. Should help
yes order of operations do apply
