PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction) or BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction) clarifies the sequence in which to tackle operations. For example, to evaluate 3 + 2 × (5 – 2)², start inside parentheses: (5 – 2) = 3, then exponents: 3² = 9, next multiplication: 2 × 9 = 18, and finally addition: 3 + 18 = 21. Following this strict hierarchy prevents confusion and ensures consistent results across all math problems. This concept underpins everything from basic arithmetic to advanced algebra, guaranteeing accurate calculations in daily life—like computing tax on multiple items or analyzing complex spreadsheet formulas.
