Order of Operations with Integers

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

The Order of Operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression. The acronym PEMDAS helps remember the order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

How do you simplify -42/(-6) + 5 - 8?

Back

First, divide -42 by -6 to get 7. Then, add 5 to get 12, and finally subtract 8 to get 4.

What is the result of -3(-5) - 16?

Back

First, multiply -3 by -5 to get 15. Then, subtract 16 to get -1.

How do you simplify -8 ( -3 + -10 ) + (-5)?

Back

First, simplify inside the parentheses: -3 + -10 = -13. Then, multiply -8 by -13 to get 104. Finally, add -5 to get 99.

Front

What is the result of -8 + (15 - 3) ÷ 4?

Back

First, simplify inside the parentheses: 15 - 3 = 12. Then, divide 12 by 4 to get 3. Finally, add -8 to get -5.

What are the steps to solve 50 − 16 ÷ 2?

Back

First, divide 16 by 2 to get 8. Then, subtract 8 from 50 to get 42.

What is the importance of parentheses in the Order of Operations?

Back

Parentheses indicate which operations should be performed first in an expression, ensuring that calculations are done in the correct order.
