(3a+3a*3a)*4b


\n" ); document.write( "PEMDAS is order of operations. Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply/Divide left to right, Add/Subtract left to right.


\n" ); document.write( "Inside the () multiplication is first. 3a*3a = \"9a%5E2\"


\n" ); document.write( "\"%283a%2B9a%5E2%29%2A4b\"

cannot add a term with a to a term with a squared, so multiply both terms by 4b.


\n" ); document.write( "\"12ab+%2B+36a%5E2b\"
