# Order of operations
|
|
|
|
1. Evaluate expressions in **parentheses**
|
|
1. Evaluate **exponents**
|
|
1. Evaluate **multiplications and divisions** from left to right in the order
|
|
that they appear
|
|
1. Evaluate **additions and subtractions** from left to right in the order that
|
|
they appear.
|
|
|
|
In the absence of grouping symbols, addition holds no precedence over
|
|
subtraction and vice versa.
