The Order of Operations is very essential for simplifying expressions and equations. The Order of Operations provides a standard procedure to simplify different operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (Braswell, 1991). Without an Order of Operations, different people would interpret an equation or expression in different ways and come up with different answers (Cleaves, Hobbs, Noble, 2016). The Order of Operations has the following procedures Parentheses and Brackets Simplify the inside of parentheses and brackets before dealing with the exponent if any or remove the parentheses. Exponents Simplify the exponent of a number or of a parenthesis before any other operation on it. Multiplication and Division multiplication and division should be in the order that they appear from left to right. Addition and Subtraction addition and subtraction in the order that they appear from left to right (Cleaves, Hobbs, Noble, 2016). As an example, we can use the Order of Operations to simplify the following expression 2 (3-1) X 32 Parentheses and Brackets 2(2)X32 Exponents of parentheses 2(2) X 9 Multiplication and Division 218 Addition and
