PEMDAS!
P- Do what is inside the parenthesis
E- Evaluate (solve) the exponents
M- Multiply
D- Divide ( if multiplication and division are placed next to each other, solve from left to right)
A- Add
S- Subtract ( if addition and subtraction are placed next to each other, solve from left to right)

Just follow PEMDAS
P - Solve everything in the parenthesis first.
E - Solve the numbers with exponents next.
M - Multiply next
D - Divide after multiplication.
A - Add after division.
S - Subtract after addition.

Hope this helped :)
