Key Concepts

Order of Operations

This concept is a set of rules used to determine the correct sequence in which to evaluate a mathematical expression. It ensures that expressions are interpreted consistently, by prioritizing operations like multiplication and division over addition and subtraction unless parentheses indicate otherwise.

Equal Precedence of Multiplication and Division

Multiplication and division are considered to have the same level of precedence. When both operations are present in an expression, they must be carried out from left to right, which is crucial for correctly solving arithmetic problems.
