Question

When applying PEMDAS, always work from left to right. True or False?​

Answer 1

This is indeed true by starting with parenthesis and brackets. Then exponents, then multiplication or division. Then addition and subtraction.

Answer 2

False

Explanation:

Sometimes, multiplication can occur after addition. For example, in 3+4*7, you don't add 3 and 4 first. You multiply 4 and 7 first since that's following the PEMDAS rule. After multiplying 4 and 7, then you add 3 to get a total of 31. ==> 3+4*7=3+28=31.
