The order of operations is a set of rules that mathematicians have agreed on to make sure that we all are able to find the same answer for an equation. Without these rules, you could come up with completely different answers based on which operation you wanted to complete first. It is important to always use these rules to solve your equations.

Its important to remember that Multiplication and Division are grouped together, and so are Addition and Subtraction. That's because these operations are inverse operations.
An inverse operation can be thought of as the opposite operation. |
