Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Because the order of operations stands for parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, and subtract from left to right.

Examples: 12+9*8÷2

Multiply and divide numbers from left to right.


\displaystyle 9*8/2


\displaystyle 9*8=72


\displaystyle 72/2=36


\displaystyle 36+12

Add numbers from left to right.


\displaystyle 36+12=48


\huge \boxed{48}, which is our answer.
