Maths for Diploma Studies

We have no parenthesis or exponents, so we start with multiplication and division:

We then move to addition and subtraction working from left to right:

We begin with the operations in brackets following the order of division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction:

Now with the brackets sorted, we move to the exponents:

This equation has every element of PEMDAS. Following the correct order, we begin with the bits in the brackets.

And then the calculation in the next set of brackets:

With that complete, we then move on to the exponents:

Then, we address the division and multiplication:

Finally, we do the addition and subtraction working from left to right:

As always, we start with the calculations in the brackets:

Then exponents:

Then multiplication:

Next division:

Finally, addition and subtraction:

So it's parenthesis first:

Then we resolve the next set of parentheses (brackets):

Then the division as that’s closest to the left:

Then multiplication:

Finally addition:
