BEDMAS 2004-03-20
From Brad:
I am in grade 7. My teacher tells me brackets always first, well i know that but, 5 (-4) x 2

Does the (-4) count as a bracket or is it just telling you not to minus 4 from 5 but to multiply 5 x -4 ? Am i correct?

Order of operations 2003-09-07
From Brian:

It has to do with the 4 rules of operations, Parentheses first before operations outside/evaluate all exponential expressions/all multiplication and divisions/then all additions and subtractions.

Who made these rules and when did they make them,,, I know its somewhat of an unorthadox question but I must know. I would really appreciate it.

BEDMAS 2003-02-09
From Stefanie:
I do remember the rules of BEDMAS, but for some reason this question puzzles me.

6 X 9 - 3 + 44

I started with the Multiplication

54 - 3 + 44

But then I got stuck, do I proceed with adding the 44 and subtracting the 3
or figure out what -3 + 44 is, but then how would that work with 54?
