- Start solving by following the following:
- P: Parentheses
- E: Exponents
- M: Multiplication [or]
- D: Division
- A: Addition [or]
- S: Subtraction
- *Note: After solving any exponents, you solve from left to right. Also, when solving from left to right multiplication or division can be solve; it depends on which one occurs first. The same goes for addition and subtraction; if subtraction occurs before addition, then you subtract first.
Step 2: Solve the problem
- *Note: Absolute value is considered the same as parentheses.
- *Note: Absolute value is the distance a number is from zero, so it is always positive.
