The order of these operations states which operations take precedence are taken care of before which other operations. Evaluate any expressions with exponent. It is like an agreement we all made to be sure that we read and understand a problem the same way.
The order of operations will allow you to solve this problem the right way.
The order of operations in which one is to interpret a mathematical expression such as 23 X 5 is a convention. Then you do 3 minus 3 is 0 plus 4 minus 1. First we solve any operations inside of parentheses or brackets. Second we solve any exponents.
