In the order of operations if you have a problem like:
5*6-25/5-2
Do you do the multiplication on division first?
5*6-25/5-2
Do you do the multiplication on division first?
In this problem, 5*6-25/5-2, that is close enough. The convention is clear, however. Do it left to right. It makes a big difference with this one, 5*6/25*5/2AshL said:It dosent matter which one you do first as long as it is * or / then do + or -. if the problem has ( ) in it you do what is in those first even if it is - or +
