Understanding Decimal Operations

The video tutorial explains how to simplify expressions using the order of operations, focusing on adding and subtracting decimals. It demonstrates aligning decimals vertically for addition and handling subtraction when the result is negative. The tutorial also uses a number line to visualize the process, helping to clarify the concept of adding and subtracting signed decimals.

What is the first step in simplifying an expression according to the order of operations?

• Multiply before adding

• Simplify inside the parentheses

• Subtract before adding

• Add all numbers first
