WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND

BY THE WORD OPERATOR
IN MATH

Operations
"Operations"mean things like add, subtract, multiply, divide,
squaring, etc. If it isn't a number it is probably an operation.
But, when you see something like...
7 + (6 22+ 3)
... what part should you calculate first?
Start at the left and go to the right?
Or go from right to left?
Calculate the right answer.
Calculate them in the wrong order, and you will get a wrong answer
