Explain pemdas and can you give examples ??
------
P means evaluate each parentheses
e means work the exponents
md means multiply and divide thru the expression from left to right
as means add and subtract thru the expression from left to right
==============================
Example:
(2*6/2)^3-2*10/5
----
apply "p"
= (6)^3 - 2*10/5
----
apply "e"
= 96 - 2*10/5
------
= 96 - 4
-------
= 92
================
Please Google "pemdas" online for additional examples.

pemdas is in ordered form
example;
3*(5+8)-2^2/4+3
do parenthesis first 5+8=3
3*13-2^2/4+3
next suqare the 2 or 2^2=4
3*13-4/4+3
multiply and divide (3*13 )(4/14)
39-1+3=41
first subtract 1-39
then add 3
answer is 41
