What does P-E-M-D-A-S mean?

I know they are the orders of operation, but I forgot what each letter stand for???

HELP!

Do things in Parentheses First.

Exponents (Powers, Roots) before Multiply, Divide, Add or Subtract.
Multiply or Divide before you Add or Subtract.
Otherwise just go left to right.

Go to google and type Pemdas for examples

what is -5+4(8)?

Don't worry! I'm here to help you remember. P-E-M-D-A-S is actually an acronym used to remember the order of operations in mathematics. Each letter stands for an operation or group of operations. Let me break it down for you:

P: Stands for Parentheses
E: Stands for Exponents
M: Stands for Multiplication
D: Stands for Division
A: Stands for Addition
S: Stands for Subtraction

So, when you see an expression with multiple operations, such as 2 + 3 x (4 - 1), you follow the order of operations according to PEMDAS. First, you solve the expression inside the parentheses (4 - 1), which is 3. Then, you multiply 3 by 3, resulting in 9. Finally, you add 2 to 9, giving you a final answer of 11.

Remembering PEMDAS can be made easier by creating a mnemonic, such as "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally." Each word in the phrase corresponds to the first letter of one of the operations in PEMDAS. So, take a deep breath, and you'll have no problem remembering the order of operations!
