What is the Order of Operations?

The order of Operations is the rule in math that states we evaluate the
parentheses/brackets first, the exponents/the orders second, division or
multiplication third (from left to right, whichever comes first), and the addition
or subtraction at the last (from left to right, whichever comes first). In math,
there might be several operations to be done while evaluating an expression,
and simplification at the end yields different results. However, we can only
have one correct answer for any sort of expression. To identify the correct
answer we simplify any given mathematical expression using a certain set of
rules. These rules revolve around all the basic operators used in math.
Operators such as addition (+), subtraction (-), division (÷), and multiplication
(×). Look at the given image to get a glimpse of how the order of operations
exactly looks like.
