The first step is to simplify expressions inside Parentheses.

Front

What does the (E) in PEMDAS represent?

Back

The (E) in PEMDAS represents Exponents.

Front

Simplify: 5 + 2 x 3

Back

11 (First multiply 2 x 3 = 6, then add 5).

Front

Simplify: (6 + 2) x 3

Back

24 (First add 6 + 2 = 8, then multiply by 3).

Front

What is the result of 8 ÷ 2 x 4?

Back

16 (Perform division and multiplication from left to right: 8 ÷ 2 = 4, then 4 x 4 = 16).

Front

Simplify: 3 + (4 x 2) - 5

Back

6 (First multiply 4 x 2 = 8, then 3 + 8 - 5 = 6).

Front

What does the (P) in PEMDAS mean?

Back

The (P) in PEMDAS means Parentheses.

Front

Simplify: (3 + 5)² - 4

Back

60 (First add 3 + 5 = 8, then square it to get 64, and finally subtract 4).

Front

What is the result of 2² + 3²?

Back

13 (2² = 4 and 3² = 9, then 4 + 9 = 13).
