Order of Operations

Remember BODMAS? This rule is followed in the order of operations.
BODMAS stands for Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction

Example: Solve 4 x 2(10-4) + 9 ÷ 3 – 10

Using BODMAS
= 4 x 2(10 – 4) + 9 ÷ 3 – 10
= 4 x 2(6) + 9 ÷ 3 – 10
= 4 x 12 + 9 ÷ 3 – 10
= 4 x 12 + 3 – 10
= 48 + 3 – 10
= 51- 10
= 41
