Understanding Order of Operations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a mathematical problem using the order of operations, known as PEMDAS. It begins by identifying the operations involved, such as subtraction, multiplication, and division. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of following the correct order, prioritizing multiplication and division over subtraction. It explains the left-to-right rule for deciding between multiplication and division. The video then demonstrates solving the problem step-by-step, resulting in the final answer.

What is the first step in solving the given problem?

• Identify the operations involved

• Multiply the numbers

• Perform subtraction

• Divide the numbers

Which operations are prioritized before subtraction?
