An expression is a combination of a
series of operations or operation
signs, numbers, and grouping
symbols. Grouping symbols show
which operation should be done first.
Three commonly used grouping
symbols are parentheses ( ),
brackets [ ], and braces { }.
 When you simplify an expression with a series
of operations, the following rules can be used:

 Rule 1: Simplify first all the operations inside

the grouping symbols. Grouping symbols are
always done from the innermost to outward set.
 Rule 2: Evaluate the exponential expressions or

simplify the expression with exponent.

 Rule 3: Multiply and divide in the order that
they appear from left to right.
 Rule 4: Add and subtract in the order they
appear from left to right.

 This is what we call now the GEMDAS Rule
(Grouping symbols, Exponents, Multiplication,
Division, Addition and Subtraction)
