Order of Operations and Common Mistakes

The video tutorial explains a math problem involving multiple additions, a subtraction, and a multiplication by zero. It highlights a common mistake where people might incorrectly assume the answer is zero due to the multiplication by zero. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of following the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). The instructor walks through the problem step-by-step, applying the correct order of operations to arrive at the final answer of 14.

What is the initial operation setup in the problem?

• One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one

• One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one minus one

• One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one times zero

• One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one divided by zero

What is a common mistake people make when solving this type of problem?

• Ignoring subtraction

• Multiplying everything by zero

• Adding all numbers first
