PEMDAS is very helpful and is a required to obtain answers to special equations
For example: (6-2) •2
You would do what’s in the brackets first. :
6-2= 4
4•2 = 8
Answer: 8

PEMDAS is very helpful. Without pemdas, people solve equations differently. For example, 2 + 3 * 2. Using pemdas, we knoow 2 + 3 * 2 = 8

However, without pemdas, someone could do 2 + 3, which is 5, then *2. Which would get 10.

PEMDAS is important to keep order.
