Answer 2

Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

This is the order you use when you need PEMDAS. For example, in this question:

(2 * 3) + 5(3)

First, you solve the parenthesis: 2 * 3 = 6

Next, you solve for multiplication: 5(3) = 15

Finally, you add: 6 + 15 = 21
