  • (NOTE) Recall what the "Order of Operations" includes.

____________

PEMDAS

  • Parenthesis: ( )
  • Exponents: ^2
  • Multiplication: ×, *
  • Division: /, ÷
  • Addition: +
  • Subtraction: -

____________

The Order of Operations, also referred to as PEMDAS, is the rule that defines the sequence in which an expression with multiply operations can be solved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this scenario, we are dividing, multiplying, adding, and subtracting numbers. This being laid out, lets begin.

1. Multiply and divide (left to right).


16 ÷
2 * 6 = 48


=48-3

2. Add and subtract (left to right).


48-3=45

Hence, our final solution after using the order of operations would be
45.

Hope this helps!
