Order of Operations

Recall the order of operations with integers:


Date

Do the operations in brackets first.


O

Multiply and divide, in order, from left to


right.
0

Add and subtract, in order, from left to right.


When an expression is written as a fraction, the fraction bar indicates division.
The operations in the numerator and the denominator must be done first before dividing the
numerator by the denominator.

Example 1
Evaluate: [(-5) + (-4)] ÷ (−3) + (−2)

A Solution
[(-5)+(-4)]+(-3)+(-2)
= (-9)=(-3)+(-2) Divide.
Add.
=+3+ (-2)
=1

Example
2
Evaluate:
[21+ (-5)] × (-2)
4(-2)

A Solution
Do the operation in square brackets first.

Evaluate the numerator and denominator separately.

Multiply.
[21+(-5)] × (-2)
4(-2)
16 x (-2)
=

4(-2)

-32

=4
-8
Divide.

Check

1. Evaluate. Show all the steps.

a) (-15)(-3)+14+ (-7)

c)
[(-8)-(-2)] × [6+(-3)]
(-15)=(-5)
15-12÷4
b)
-6
d) [8+(-3)] × 3+ (-36) (-9)

5. The formula for the volume, V, of a cylinder with height, h, and radius, r, is V
= r2h.
Janet made 3 L of salsa and stores it in jars with a radius of 4 cm and a height of
10 cm.

She uses this expression to determine the number of jars she


will need:
3000

π(4)2
×10
About how many jars will Janet need for the salsa?

6. Aftab, Shane, and Kyra got different answers when they evaluated this expression:
(−4)2 – 3[(−9) ÷ 3]2 Aftab's answer was 97, Shane's answer was 43, and Kyra's
answer was
19.

a) Show the correct solution.


b) Show and explain how the students who got the wrong answer may have evaluated.
Where did each student go wrong?
