order of solving is:
\n" ); document.write( "going from left to right
\n" ); document.write( "solve all expressions within parentheses first
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "do exponentiation first
\n" ); document.write( "then mult/div
\n" ); document.write( "then add/subt
\n" ); document.write( "multiple occurrences of mult/div are done left one first.
\n" ); document.write( "multiple occurrences of add/subt are done left one first.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "your equation breaks down as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "50 + (2*10) / 4 * 2 =
\n" ); document.write( "50 + 20 / 4 * 2 =
\n" ); document.write( "50 + 5 * 2 =
\n" ); document.write( "50 + 10 =
\n" ); document.write( "60
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "the expression within the parentheses was done first.
\n" ); document.write( "since there was no exponentiation, the multiplication or division was done next going from left to right.
\n" ); document.write( "first was 2*10 within the parentheses which became 20
\n" ); document.write( "next was 20 / 4 which became 5
\n" ); document.write( "next was 5 * 2 which became 10
\n" ); document.write( "last was 50 + 10 which became 60
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "answer would be 60.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
