Addition ALWAYS comes before subtraction.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

The statement in the question is false. In mathematics, the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS, dictates that operations should be performed in the following order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). So, addition does not always come before subtraction.
