Definition

The presence of different grouping symbols and operations makes math problems more challenging. With that, grouping symbols are characterized as an organization in algebraic problems that contains multiple groups.

Parentheses ( ) – these are used to group numbers or variables. Always perform first the operation inside the parentheses.
Brackets [ ] and braces { } – Brackets and braces also are used to group numbers or variables. In general, they are used after parentheses. Parentheses are to be used first, then brackets, and then braces: {[( )]}.

Note: Improper use of grouping symbols may result to wrong answer.

Summary

ORDER OF OPERATIONS

Operation is a mathematical process. There are four fundamental operations in mathematics namely: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
PEMDAS is an acronym made to help remember the order of operations when dealing with mathematical expressions.
PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition or Subtraction.

Trivia:

In the UK they say BODMAS (Brackets,Orders,Divide,Multiply,Add,Subtract)
In Canada they say BEDMAS (Brackets,Exponents,Divide,Multiply,Add,Subtract).
It all means the same thing! It doesn’t matter how you remember it, just so long as you get it right.

Example

Evaluate: 7 + (6 × 5² + 3)

Start with numbers and operations inside the Parentheses

7 + (6 × 5² + 3)

Evaluate 5² first because it has an Exponent. 5²is equal to 25.

7+ (6 × 25 + 3)

Multiply 6 and 25. The product is 150.

7+(150 + 3)

There is no need to divide numbers. Proceed with Addition.

7+ (153) = 160

Thus, 7 + (6 × 5² + 3) = 160
