Key Concepts

Arithmetic Operations

Arithmetic operations include the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. When simplifying any numerical expression, it is important to perform these operations correctly and in the proper sequence as specified by the order of operations rules.

Order of Operations

This concept, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction), dictates the sequence in which mathematical operations should be performed to accurately simplify expressions. Understanding this order helps to ensure that expressions containing multiple operations are simplified in the correct manner.
